President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić discussed during the Summit about artificial intelligence in India with the Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva on the digitization of the economy, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and their impact on the labor market.
Vučić boasted in India that Serbia is also developing artificial intelligence.
"We also discussed the digitization of the economy, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and their impact on the labor market. There was a special focus on energy as a pillar of development and on the challenges of stabilizing global opportunities that spill over into our region," Vučić announced on the Instagram account "buducnostsrbijeav".
The President of Serbia wrote that he had a cordial meeting with Georgieva, as well as that he carefully listened to advice and ideas for solving today's pressing challenges.
"A cordial meeting with the director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva. As always, I listened attentively to useful advice and ideas for solving today's pressing challenges. I reiterated my gratitude to the IMF for the trust it has in Serbia and emphasized that a responsible macroeconomic policy, with the support and involvement of the IMF, helped Serbia build a strong protection system in a challenging environment," announced Vučić.
We must not miss the AI revolution
He said that as a small country, we must not miss the AI revolution and that we must hurry up the development.
Vučić pointed out, after the opening ceremony of the Summit on the impact of artificial intelligence in New Delhi and a tour of Serbia's stand, that it is important to develop infrastructure because, as he said, whoever stops will lose sovereignty and independence and will have nothing of their own.
"They will have the availability of computers via the cloud. Therefore, they will not have anything of their own. And this is the modern way where you lose data about your citizens and everything else. So, these are the problems we are facing, in competition with large technological powers, your chances are almost zero, and that is why you have to work quickly, regardless of the fact that you are a small country, on the development of infrastructure, that is why we need additional data centers, additional supercomputers. That is why we need the provision of electricity, new universities," said Vučić.
According to his words, we also need to get used to the news because we must not miss the new revolution, as we missed the First one, so we needed time to make up for it.
"When we missed the first industrial revolution we lost a lot. We never caught up, we always trotted and just when we started to catch up and close the gap we had to enter the new one and compete with everyone," he said.
He emphasizes that we will need a lot of money and a lot of knowledge, a change in the way of thinking and living, in order to understand what is happening in the world.
"India succeeded in one thing. If you watched the Indian channels, they were interesting, people are dealing with AI all day who will lose and who will gain, because people from the IT sector, the software industry have started losing their jobs. They are dealing with how much it helps them, how much it pays off, how much it helps them in agriculture or some other branches," said the president.
