Artificial Intelligence is an extremely fast-growing field of science and the world-wide competition for its development and application is highly controversial. The US and China are likely to remain leaders in the development of artificial intelligence. This was what Dr. Hiroshi Yamakawa, director of the Dwango Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Tokyo said during his lecture at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. According to him, after 2030, artificial intelligence will develop to such an extent that it will outweigh human intelligence in many respects, participate actively in industry and interfere even in human preferences.

Dr. Hiroshi Yamakawa is one of the leading Japanese researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. His professional interests are in the field of neural networks and intelligent control.

The lecture of Dr. Yamakawa in “Prof. Marin Drinov” Hall was organized by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Embassy of Japan in Bulgaria.
