The future of Artificial Intelligence and the impact of this technology on different areas of human activity were discussed at an international seminar held at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences on 30 November. The Vice-President of BAS Corr. Memb. Stefan Hadjitodorov and the Ambassador of Spain H.E. Alejandro Polanco opened the forum.

The extremely rapid proliferation of systems based on Artificial Intelligence requires a good analysis of their capabilities and limitations, understanding of the legal, organisational and managerial issues involved, and optimisation of the relationship between their development and deployment in practice.

Well-known Bulgarian and Spanish analysts participated in the discussion. Prof. Kiril Simov from the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies of BAS outlined the history, principles, possibilities and limitations of Artificial Intelligence. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mariana Todorova from the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of BAS raised the main issues facing societies and organizations in relation to the application of these new technologies. Sen. Asst. Prof. Ivo Tsekov and doctoral student Georgi Mutafchiev from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” focused on legal and security issues. The Spanish specialist Elias Gargallo from EURECAT presented the concept of the relationship between the development of new technologies and their implementation in the real sector.

The start of the interesting discussion was given by the Deputy Minister of Education and Science Natalia Miteva, who shared what the challenges were for the educational sphere given the possibility of using CHAT GPT and what programs are being developed to inform and train students and teachers.

The seminar, organized by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the Sofia Security Forum and the Embassy of the Kingdom of Spain in Bulgaria, was attended by representatives of ministries and departments, business, academia, ambassadors and diplomats accredited in Bulgaria.
