00:00:00The news of vulnerabilities is related to the fact that we,
00:00:03as humans, begin to trust it excessively.
00:00:06Technologies, programs based on artificial intelligence,
00:00:10become an authority for us. That is, people
00:00:13now think that AI does absolutely everything,
00:00:16even tomatoes. There is such a deficit of trust. Well, these
00:00:19are all wave-like processes. It has a clear
00:00:23pattern, yes, and it will not jump higher, but
00:00:26a person can, if he doesn't get lazy, GPTM writes.
00:00:30I made a mistake, next time I'll be more careful, that is, it turns out, artificial intelligence also
00:00:33learns, well, let's say, it wouldn't have happened without natural intelligence,
00:00:37personnel,
00:00:39any accounting is still working with
00:00:43a software product, accounting, and it wouldn't be bad
00:00:46to go and learn, knowledge is power, but natural intelligence
00:00:50critical thinking will always be in the first
00:00:52place.
00:01:11Hello, you're watching "Say, Don't Be Silent." In the studio are Tatyana Shcherbina and
00:01:15Victoria Popova. And today our guest is Ivan Zharkov, analyst at the Belarusian Institute
00:01:18for Strategic Studies. Good afternoon.
00:01:22Hello. Hello. You are not only an analyst, you are an expert in the field
00:01:25of artificial intelligence technologies. This is what we...
00:02:39it's also difficult to do turnkey right away, yes, that is, you need
00:02:42to, first, gradually acquire and
00:02:45integrate these gadgets, but on the other hand,
00:02:49it mostly depends on the user, on the person, that is, the person
00:02:53is still the user of artificial intelligence,
00:02:57everything that is based on it, and everything comes from this. That is,
00:03:01in our work, it's the same thing, that is, technology doesn't dictate how
00:03:04a person should work, but a person integrates technology into
00:03:08their work, you didn't immediately rush to buy everything that's
00:03:12new on the market, you gradually
00:03:15take a look, we act consistently, we act
00:03:18smartly, in a Belarusian way, well, as a press secretary, I'm
00:03:21interested in asking you about media monitoring, because
00:03:24this is quite a routine job,
00:03:27you had to do it manually in...
00:04:01This is still, yes, it all depends on how you explain the task, artificial
00:04:04intelligence, everything related to these technologies,
00:04:07they, uh, the more precisely the task is set,
00:04:11and this is also a human skill, prompt engineering, everything connected with this,
00:04:14the more precisely the task is set, the more
00:04:18relevant the result will be. Accordingly, if
00:04:21it is not explicitly stated that fresh information
00:04:24or information from a certain time period is needed, then of course the machine
00:04:28might, well, cheat. And be lazy. Well,
00:04:31tell us your prompt for media monitoring,
00:04:35what helps you in your work,
00:04:38which one? It all comes from the task, imagine that you are
00:04:41a press secretary with 20 years of experience, your
00:04:44task is to compile such and such a digest according to
00:04:48such and such a structure, where in the first section there will be
00:04:51such and such, in the second such and such, each section no
00:04:55more than 200-300 words, the main
00:04:59part you... the main part as a sample uses such and such, that is,
00:05:03all these prompts, these tips, they can
00:05:06stretch for several pages, and this is generally a normal
00:05:09situation, and even with such a precise task, you say that it is not yet
00:05:13ideal, right? Why? Well, it should
00:05:16also be noted that with each time
00:05:20the result becomes more and more accurate, I would pay attention specifically to
00:05:24the dynamics of improvement, that is, it turns out, artificial intelligence also
00:05:27learns, of course, artificial intelligence learns, and even, well,
00:05:31I wouldn't take it so globally, yes, yes, this is really the most
00:05:35important part of this interaction, but
00:05:38the technologies themselves are improving.
00:06:42separately, and I would not consider
00:06:45vulnerability. It's a program, it's a machine,
00:06:49it's an algorithm, no matter what we call it, but a human still
00:06:52uses it. At this stage, still,
00:06:55perhaps, thank
00:06:57God, there is no such thing as artificial intelligence interacting with artificial intelligence
00:07:01completely detached from human controlling
00:07:05influence, this is a separate subject for
00:07:08discussion, a separate subject for concern, but still at this stage...
00:07:42without being tied to some problem it doesn't exist, that is, analysts
00:07:46don't write out of their own scientific interest
00:07:50or just out of curiosity, there is a task,
00:07:53there is its solution in the form of preparing some
00:07:56analytical products, and any conclusion must be
00:08:00substantiated, technology, in principle, any technology, it
00:08:03disciplines, yes and
00:08:06the use of technology, it allows
00:08:09to avoid, so to speak, such a human...
00:09:12which we worked on manually and manually
00:09:15tested its effectiveness, to automate,
00:09:18again, on our own data, which we continue. And have you noticed that you are still
00:09:22working on someone else's platform, that these chats
00:09:25pursue their own line, well, because they are
00:09:28fed on American
00:09:31data, not our data, there is always an information
00:09:35bomb there, in any answer that is not
00:09:39fed by us, indeed, not on our ideology.
00:10:55you can and should, well, bring the raw material into
00:10:58a form that is
00:11:01accessible, that is understandable to the decision-maker,
00:11:04naturally, we simply have the opportunity to process this in an automatic mode,
00:11:08again, locally with us,
00:11:11but the certificate that is
00:11:15obtained at the output, the sociologist, analyst,
00:11:18naturally, selectively rechecks, are there such
00:11:21quotes, for example, and is the quantity really such?
00:11:55And you work with specific
00:11:57government tasks, how do you avoid, that is, what
00:12:01grids do you put on your information that you feed to
00:12:04the neural network, if this information is closed? We do not
00:12:07work with analogues like GPT,
00:12:11DIP, this is not that format and that approach.
00:12:15The technology, consists in the fact
00:12:18that the model, which is deployed locally
00:12:22with us, it, firstly, does not
00:12:26remember any context, secondly, it
00:12:29does not remember at all, no digital trace is left,
00:12:32well, it is in our isolated contour,
00:12:35well, and these, so we understand that this is
00:12:39a local network, yes, yes, the task
00:12:42is somewhat different, you see, that is, tasks
00:12:46related to artificial intelligence, they are not limited only to chat GPT and
00:12:49Deepfake, they
00:12:52are much, the technology itself is... in the near
00:13:56future, that is, this will be the tool
00:13:59that any analyst can use in their work,
00:14:03of course, they will then need to double-check it, but some
00:14:06raw material, some project they
00:14:10will still have. Tell me about the local network, is it
00:14:14a Belarusian development? We interact with Belarusian
00:14:17developers and we have been testing and
00:14:20checking this development for
00:14:23more than a year and... it has found its
00:14:26application. Let me ask
00:14:29another personal question, do you feel
00:14:32the influence of artificial
00:14:36intelligence? Does it structure you personally, your thoughts, the way you approach
00:14:40work? Absolutely, it structures and
00:14:43also makes you lazy, I don't know how to say
00:14:46it correctly, that is, for example, business
00:14:50correspondence significantly
00:14:53simplifies it, that is... Well, of course, but look,
00:14:57time, yes, it demands speed from us, but the workload hasn't decreased,
00:15:00like with that washing machine, because at home you still don't have time to do anything,
00:15:04because, well, there are challenges, answers to challenges, yes,
00:15:08but I would say that the vulnerability of artificial
00:15:11intelligence lies in the limit
00:15:14of information it currently possesses, that is, of course it
00:15:18is well-trained, but there is room to grow, let's say, yes, that is, it
00:15:22seems to me that after all artificial intelligence itself.
00:15:48at what speed all this is developing, at what speed the results
00:15:52of the work of everything related to artificial intelligence are improving,
00:15:55it allows us to say that our
00:15:58expectations will soon be
00:16:01approximately equal to what will be obtained in
00:16:04the end,
00:16:06here... I would rather pay attention to
00:16:10the training of the specialist who
00:16:13works with these tools. Let's discuss this important topic
00:16:17in the next part, the training of specialists, and now
00:16:20let's take a short break.
00:19:18This is "Say, Don't Be Silent" again. Today our guest is Ivan
00:19:21Zharkov, an analyst at the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies.
00:19:24Let's talk a little about fakes and information attacks,
00:19:28is this really a problem or do we already distinguish
00:19:31real information, real
00:19:34from. it's a problem,
00:20:07it's not going anywhere, and indeed,
00:20:11uh, technologies are usually mastered faster
00:20:15by, let's say, the bad guys, yes,
00:20:18and, uh, technologies for generating
00:20:22high-quality video,
00:20:25quite plausible info-occasions using
00:20:28artificial intelligence, well, have moved to a qualitatively new level,
00:20:31here the classic
00:20:34recipes come to the forefront again, that is, it is
00:20:38education, enlightenment
00:20:42of people, uh,
00:20:44how to recognize, and most importantly, how to doubt
00:20:48in time whether it is true,
00:20:52and, let's say,
00:20:56only a human, here it's even about
00:20:59scammers, that is,
00:21:02people are still falling for their tricks, their
00:21:05bait, this all leads to large financial
00:21:09losses for them, and such a large educational effort
00:21:12by everyone involved, communication operators, and
00:21:16banks, and law enforcement, well... will start
00:23:21doubting the truthfulness, the accuracy of this information, or
00:23:24do you think this won't happen? Well,
00:23:27as far as I know, there was news somewhere
00:23:31relatively recently that, in principle,
00:23:33content on the Internet, I don't know how they calculated it, but it has already
00:23:37exceeded manually created
00:23:39content, yes, in fact, what do editorial offices fight for? For
00:23:43the readership, for the number
00:23:45of views, for different algorithms
00:23:48to pick up an article and include it in
00:23:51a selection, and, well, in principle, only
00:23:54the reader can indirectly
00:23:58influence this, it seems to me, that is, a deficit of trust, accordingly, there
00:24:02he clicked a button, no longer show from this resource,
00:24:06accordingly, if we see and
00:24:10the editorial offices see that
00:24:12there is too much
00:24:15generation, then this will indeed,
00:24:18probably, push
00:24:21the editorial office,
00:24:24spur on journalists so that they, well, do it manually. Regarding
00:24:27verification, well, we also have, well,
00:24:31fact-checking with the help of artificial intelligence, well, this is
00:24:35a rather hopeless endeavor, well, because you yourself say
00:24:38that you then recheck what it provides, yes, but
00:24:41again, we have slightly reversed it, we use artificial intelligence for
00:24:44fact-checking, but on the other hand, that is, we have.
00:24:48the analyst prepares
00:24:50a block of information for some document,
00:24:54and algorithms
00:24:57nitpick at every word, that is,
00:24:59after uploading, you click a button, and
00:25:03it returns a checklist, "Are you sure
00:25:06this was said by so-and-so? Are you sure
00:25:09he said it there? Are you sure he holds
00:25:13such-and-such a position? And are you sure that the logical connection between
00:25:16such-and-such an entity and such-and-such an entity is present?"
00:25:20Yes, the neural network can generate a fairly large number of silly
00:25:24questions, but it still minimizes
00:25:27the risks of inaccurate information at the output.
00:25:31The analyst, scanning this checklist, well, maybe his
00:25:35eye will catch something, and he will indeed double-check, that is,
00:25:38well, that's how we turned fact-checking around. I'll tell you,
00:25:42regarding trusting artificial intelligence, I myself encountered a situation
00:25:46when I needed to find out which
00:25:48precinct I belonged to in my polyclinic. I ask artificial
00:25:52intelligence, and it tells me that my address has absolutely no
00:25:55relation to this polyclinic, that I belong to a completely different
00:25:59district. I ask again, there,
00:26:03with a different angle, it writes to me that in this building there are
00:26:06only administrative institutions. I
00:26:09say, in this building there are 98 apartments. Then it says: "Oh,
00:26:13excuse me, I made a mistake," indeed, and then, that is,
00:26:16after the fifth or sixth attempt, it finally gave me the information
00:26:20I was looking for. There are many such stories,
00:26:23and, well, maybe this is not the most dramatic. There are
00:26:26stories where people, hoping for a visa-free stay in some country,
00:26:30arrive, and it turns out that... it says, "Sorry,
00:26:33I made a mistake, next time I'll be more careful." I'm not even talking about
00:26:36mushroom poisoning, well, that is, this is,
00:26:40well, risking like that, by no means, rechecking
00:26:44must be done, and, well, after all,
00:26:47you see, what guarantees that artificial intelligence will eventually give me
00:26:51the correct answer, if it made six mistakes before? There are no
00:26:55guarantees, that is, you always have to rely only
00:26:58on yourself, it turns out, I recommend, right?
00:27:02Can artificial intelligence today, autonomously, without
00:27:06human command, design and launch a large-scale information
00:27:09attack? Since we were talking about fakes? I think
00:27:12it can, well, look, there are a lot of agency stories here, what
00:27:16is that? That's when a process
00:27:20is built, a sequence
00:27:22of actions, and, well, that is, for example, if we are talking about an information
00:27:26attack, it is broken down into some
00:27:29small sequential steps and...
00:29:02well, let's say, the collapse of an information occasion, there
00:29:05an information wave, it's clear where it is, there is the original source, how
00:29:09it then lived, spread in time, that is,
00:29:12an analyst with the help of technology can track such quantitative,
00:29:16for example, indicators, but still, first
00:29:19of all, he must form some hypothesis
00:29:22for himself, the algorithm, well, let's
00:29:26say, it's unlikely that it will immediately
00:29:29offer him such-and-such...
00:30:02easily detectable by such technical tools, it's immediately
00:30:05clear, well, that is, where the roots are. And you said
00:30:09a good phrase, that technologies, of course, are first
00:30:12picked up by the bad guys, why did that happen, is there
00:30:15an explanation? Well, it's like with viruses and antiviruses, yes, that
00:30:19is, this is, perhaps, one could philosophize
00:30:22why this happens,
00:30:25and response systems, they by
00:30:29their nature react, yes?
00:30:32That is, of course, one can talk about the need to work proactively, but
00:30:36still, even when you work
00:30:39proactively, you generate some
00:30:42potential threat, that is, you still start by
00:30:46generating some potentially
00:30:49dangerous situation, or how this technology can be used
00:30:52to harm, that is, even the thought process
00:30:55is structured in such a way, well, it's a kind of intellectual challenge, I
00:30:59understand, yes and yes. And there is also the organizational side
00:31:02of the issue, well, the bad guys are usually more flexible, so to speak,
00:31:06that is, they are not bound by
00:31:10procedures.
00:31:15by strict procedures. And tell me, what if we go further
00:31:18with this question, that the machine itself generates some
00:31:22information attacks, do you already, just in case, speak
00:31:25politely with artificial intelligence, what do you
00:31:28generally think about the prospect of a robot uprising? I'm an optimist in
00:31:32this regard and even from a mathematical point
00:31:36of view it's profitable to be an optimist, because
00:31:39there's a chance you'll be right, because if you're
00:31:42wrong, well, it doesn't matter anymore.
00:33:45monitoring and working with neural networks, for what? To set
00:33:48tasks, to understand what can be automated
00:33:51and what cannot be automated,
00:33:54how much time an analyst might need for this
00:33:58task and generally how to build these processes, this is very
00:34:01important, because there is indeed some, well,
00:34:04barrier, maybe related, well, to
00:34:07life experience or, you know, there's a famous
00:34:11meme where the chief accountant is depicted
00:34:15by an actress, she says, now this youth does everything through chat
00:34:18GPT, everyone laughs, everyone is happy, but
00:34:22in reality, this is really already a generational gap, and she
00:34:25would do well to go and get trained, courses
00:34:29everyone mentally shrinks, where to get extra-budgetary
00:34:32funds, but you just said that it
00:34:36can be free, that is, take and upload
00:34:39any network, yes, a neural network to your computer, it
00:34:43will train you.
00:36:15this is really important, I even remember the time
00:36:17when - I remember, we were taught how to go online,
00:36:20uh-huh, at work, then it was a direct process,
00:36:24well, Tanya, I think it's the same now, just in terms of... literacy,
00:36:58financial literacy, exactly the same now with
00:37:01information technologies, that is, a person at their workplace
00:37:05still needs to understand more or less how databases
00:37:08work, because they probably have their own database, I'm not even talking about the fact
00:37:12that there are specialized software
00:37:14products that are now being implemented at the legislative level, there is
00:37:18accounting, yes, if we are talking about accountants,
00:37:21HR,
00:37:23any accounting, it is still working with...
00:38:28Well, the surest way to protect yourself is to truly go nowhere,
00:38:31that is, not to use a bank card,
00:38:34naturally, traces remain everywhere, but these are already the realities
00:38:38of our, I just want some of the
00:38:42audience to understand that this has already happened, this is already
00:38:45happening to us, but at the same time, there's another point, yes, we
00:38:49remember, some time ago, the game
00:38:52Pokémon was popular, yes, when people photographed themselves looking
00:38:55for it there.
00:39:57for whom this information is important, they should have done this work, the user
00:40:01owes nothing, in my opinion, he just wanted
00:40:04to take a picture, at least, well, for example, when
00:40:08we implement a certain
00:40:11software product, we proceed from the fact that the user truly
00:40:14owes nothing, and we must teach him,
00:40:17warn him, show him some potential
00:40:20opportunities, risks, that is, this is
00:40:23normal practice, it is necessary to start today.
00:41:27as they say, no one has canceled different methods of cognition,
00:41:31therefore, the journalistic community also does a lot of work,
00:41:34showing various such
00:41:38examples of how... what can lead to what, well,
00:41:42our people are smart
00:41:44and a distinctive feature of Belarusians
00:41:47is that we
00:41:50are capable of making
00:41:53such conclusions,
00:41:55and despite the fact that such a wave of pressure
00:41:59is happening, well, we
00:42:02are beginning, let's say, in my opinion, to look more
00:42:06critically and more... well,
00:42:10constructively at various things. Sometimes I feel
00:42:14a kind of nostalgia for the times when, well, let's
00:42:17say, before 2020,
00:42:21there were other news,
00:42:25in principle, the dynamics weren't like that,
00:42:29and I remember how it was also
00:42:32criticized, well, ridiculed at the very
00:42:35least, yes, when
00:42:39the vaccine.
00:43:40your own abilities, then also pay attention, well, as
00:43:43it were, at the dawn, when, well, I, for example,
00:43:47was just starting out in the analytical profession,
00:43:50a document of 10 pages, it
00:43:54was, in principle, well,
00:43:57perceived quite normally.
00:43:59Now we have probably gone down
00:44:02the path of, well, like these messages in Telegram, this
00:44:06defocusing, it, well, this is my hypothesis. It led to the fact
00:44:10that it's generally difficult to concentrate
00:44:14on a lot of text, yes, on a large document, this
00:44:17ten-page one, yes, the ten-page
00:44:21format, for example, is reduced to two pages, to
00:44:24three pages, this is also interesting how all this
00:44:28affects us, our brains have just completely changed, yes,
00:44:31yes, well, you can experiment on vacation and
00:44:35completely give up social networks, and this is also
00:44:38... well, I experimented, did you read
00:44:42Tolstoy's War and Peace? Well,
00:44:45as an option, yes, yes, yes, this is indeed
00:44:48a good, useful exercise to concentrate. Now we will take a short
00:44:52break, in the next part of our program we will ask if our children
00:44:56will unlearn to think independently. We'll be back shortly.
00:45:13Back on "Say, Don't Be Silent," we have Ivan Zharkov, an analyst at the Belarusian
00:45:16Institute for Strategic Studies, as our guest.
00:45:19Starting from the new academic year, schoolchildren in Belarus will begin
00:45:23to study artificial intelligence within the framework of computer science lessons. This was
00:45:26reported by the Ministry of Education. They will be taught
00:45:29to generate and process content through AI for tasks in
00:45:33physics, mathematics, and biology. So,
00:45:36tell me, Ivan, won't we get the opposite effect when children, instead
00:45:40of real learning, just transfer their homework, the completion of homework
00:45:44assignments, to the shoulders of neural networks? How
00:45:46do we maintain this balance between technologies and natural
00:45:50thinking? I saw this news and I saw a large
00:45:53number of comments about the concern
00:45:57that these
00:46:00courses or subjects might become
00:46:04a precursor to children indeed doing all their
00:46:07homework with the help of artificial intelligence. On the other
00:46:10hand, the absence of these
00:46:13programs and courses, well, will certainly not
00:46:17be the reason why children will not use these
00:46:20services, they will, but these courses, in my opinion,
00:46:24they, well, you can't prevent
00:46:27an exclamation, yes, they will still
00:46:30have an effect, they will teach how
00:46:34to use it correctly, they will teach
00:46:37how to double-check, they will teach and
00:46:40will probably still convey the idea that critical thinking
00:46:43is important, they will probably teach how to dose,
00:46:47of course, they will use it and will
00:46:50abuse, here it is necessary... both to the parent community and
00:46:54to the pedagogical community, to
00:46:56somehow get involved in this process, in my opinion,
00:47:00I, as a parent, also understand this,
00:47:03but I repeat, the absence, well,
00:47:07it would even be strange if in computer science, children, high school students,
00:47:10will not study and get acquainted with artificial intelligence and neural networks, that is, well, this
00:47:14is really, of course, I agree with you, yes, well, today any
00:47:18basic mobile phone is already
00:47:20built-in.
00:48:23developed and created a scientific
00:48:26collective created a framework
00:48:29law in the vastness of the CIS, for
00:48:32regulating technologies based on artificial intelligence, that is, well, the
00:48:36competence of studying regulatory frameworks and
00:48:39creating among Belarusians
00:48:41is present, in medicine
00:48:44there are also scientific research
00:48:48institutes that implement them.
00:48:52based on
00:48:55computer vision, information
00:48:58processing takes place, that is, this
00:49:00is already either
00:49:03an industrial sample, or
00:49:06well, our regulatory framework is still a
00:49:10bit behind, so to speak, but in practice
00:49:14these technologies are already used in
00:49:17medicine, in mechanical engineering,
00:49:20in precision agriculture.
00:49:22Gradually, each sphere,
00:49:26without, again, any rushing, but looking for
00:49:29and implementing these applied
00:49:33technologies, well, yes, and we somehow said that
00:49:36Belarus is an IT country for a very long time, today, what can we say,
00:49:40do we preserve this potential?
00:49:43Of course, we preserve it, the intellectual component of our
00:49:47citizens, the educational
00:49:49base, the High-Tech Park. This
00:49:52infrastructure, conditions are created,
00:49:55development is going on, yes, there are some external
00:49:59circumstances that, well, let's say, may
00:50:02not allow us to make noise in
00:50:05all locations, in all geographies, at all
00:50:09world exhibitions and forums, yes, well,
00:50:11these are political moments, development,
00:50:15intellect, it's all preserved, it's
00:50:18present, it will definitely give and gives its.
00:51:54and there is much more data, they change
00:51:58much more often, and the
00:52:01analyst needs to be able not to get lost in this data.
00:52:05have the opportunity to manage them
00:52:08correctly, well, and communication
00:52:11things, soft skills, so-called, the
00:52:14human face, the human appearance, it
00:52:17will not go anywhere, that is, to be able
00:52:21to correctly interpret, convey, well, let's say, if we
00:52:24are talking about artificial intelligence, then emotional intelligence
00:52:27is also a very important component, because
00:52:31well, no one will want to work, so to speak, with a robot, with a human...
00:53:36Dear viewers, I would like to wish everyone
00:53:39to consciously and without fear immerse themselves in artificial
00:53:43intelligence technologies, knowledge is power,
00:53:46but natural intelligence and critical thinking
00:53:49will always be in the first place. Ivan,
00:53:52please be kind, leave us, please, your wishes and
00:53:55autograph.
00:54:11Let AI stand for interesting ideas.
00:54:50The President is not a person, he is a machine. Alexander Grigorievich himself
00:54:53set himself the task of being this machine for promoting
00:54:57national interests, he himself does not allow himself to relax for a
00:55:01second, being reasonably confident that he
00:55:04does not have the right to... since the nation trusted him with power.
00:55:08I remind you, IPSO is a complex of systematic
00:55:11actions aimed at targeted manipulation
00:55:15of public opinion, emotions, and human behavior.
00:55:18All power in Kyiv, according to feelings, has long ceased to be entirely Ukraine, but one
00:55:22big Tsipsaina. The main goal of such operations is to sow panic,
00:55:26undermine trust in state institutions or change
00:55:29public opinion towards some important events.
00:55:33Remember, information hygiene.
00:55:35Protection from propaganda is not only the task of propaganda,
00:55:38the government and Lukashenka, it is also and even primarily your
00:55:42own task: quite precisely, in difficult times for the country,
00:55:46Lukashenka will be in the country, and if necessary, he will definitely be next
00:55:49to his people, and if it gets really hot, then with weapons in hand,
00:55:53which has already been proven, Igor Turay's author's project
00:55:57propaganda, watch on TV channel Belarus
00:58:28Belarus and Algeria can agree on the implementation of many projects. Alexander
00:58:32Lukashenka stated this at a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:58:35of Algeria, Ahmed Attaf. The President also assessed the current
00:58:39level of relations between Minsk and Algeria. The Head of State
00:58:42noted that he was impressed by the meeting with the President of this country,
00:58:46which took place at the end of last year.
00:59:18The basis of this conviction of mine is
00:59:21that we are able to do
00:59:24absolutely everything that today, well, maybe
00:59:27tomorrow, Algeria will need. Moreover,
00:59:31Mr. Minister, we agreed that
00:59:35there are a number of problems, we came up with
00:59:39a number of concrete projects that we can
00:59:42implement already today in
00:59:45cooperation with your states. I will not
00:59:49list these projects, you know them well,
00:59:52and I would like these projects to
00:59:55gain more acceleration in the course of our
00:59:59agreements with Algeria. On August
01:00:026, Belarus also celebrates the Day of Railway Troops. The President congratulated
01:00:05the personnel and veterans on their professional holiday. Alexander
01:00:09Lukashenka noted that today, as part of the transport troops, Belarusian
01:00:12railway soldiers continue the relay of courage of the
01:00:16generation of winners with honor, successfully mastering new types of weapons and
01:00:19equipment, constantly improving the system of transport support for the
01:00:22armed forces and civilian infrastructure. The Head of
01:00:26State thanked the military railway workers for their service, wished them
01:00:30good health, peace, happiness, prosperity, and new successes for the
01:00:33benefit of their native Belarus. In
01:00:36Belarus, certain provisions of the law on amending laws
01:00:40on issues of state dactyloscopic registration came into force. The main
01:00:43innovation concerns the procedure for staying in the border zone and...
01:00:47strip. Now, to confirm identity, one can use not
01:00:51only a passport, but also a number of other documents, including pension
01:00:54certificates, disability certificates, student cards, and student
01:00:57tickets. In addition, the list of cases where
01:01:01citizens and organizations need to obtain permission for
01:01:04economic and other activities in the border zone has been reduced,
01:01:07and the procedure for approving certain works has been simplified. The changes
01:01:10are designed to make visiting border areas more convenient, while maintaining
01:01:14the necessary level of border security.
01:01:18In the Council of the Republic, those who made a special contribution to the organization of the project
01:01:22"Train of Memory" and the thirteenth forum of regions of Belarus and Russia were honored. Honorary
01:01:26certificates and letters of gratitude from the Chairman of the Council of the Republic, as well as commemorative
01:01:30medals, were awarded to 35 people. These are representatives of state bodies,
01:01:33enterprises, and organizations. The scale of the work done is
01:01:36proven by figures. The forum of regions was held at the highest
01:01:40level. Over 200 contracts were signed. In total, about
01:01:441,600 people took part in the forum events.
01:01:47It is a great honor for us to host such a significant event,
01:01:50it is doubly significant for us, because
01:01:54cooperation with Russian regions is key for us.
01:01:58The main direction of export of our company is still
01:02:01the Russian Federation, so preparations took several
01:02:04months, we approached this event very responsibly,
01:02:08well, I'm glad that, in
01:02:10principle, everyone was satisfied with what they saw
01:02:14and that my team, uh...
01:02:17Our enterprise provided good working conditions for two sections of the
01:02:21forum. The "Train of Memory" project brought together 200 participants from
01:02:2418 countries. In 16 days, the guys visited 13 cities
01:02:28of the Union State. The Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus
01:02:32organized a large, serious work to select the best of the
01:02:35best representatives of our country to participate in the "Train of Memory" project.
01:02:39It is worth noting that this year, 12
01:02:42thousand tenth-grade students would have liked to go on this
01:02:46unforgettable journey, trip, project,
01:02:50but the 57 best people were lucky,
01:02:53these are guys who achieved high results in educational activities, in
01:02:57search activities, showed themselves at various... levels,
01:03:00passed the republican competition, "I am a patriot
01:03:04of my country." Such union projects strengthen the economy, connect the cities
01:03:07of the Union State, and unite peoples.
01:03:11The traditional meeting of student detachments of Minsk region brought together
01:03:14more than 100 fighters from different districts of Zaslavl. The event became a significant
01:03:18point of the work season and a platform for exchanging experience, strengthening
01:03:22team interaction, and developing the creative potential
01:03:25of the participants. The program was rich and included several key
01:03:28activities. Traditionally, the large-scale meeting takes place in an interactive
01:03:32format: quests, quizzes, disco. I am from Kletsk
01:03:35district, and we directly have guys working in
01:03:38agricultural student detachments. This year, we
01:03:41also launched for the first time an ecological student detachment based
01:03:45on housing and communal services, but the main mass are
01:03:48agricultural student detachments. At the moment, we have already
01:03:51employed 420 people, and by
01:03:55the end of the summer, we plan that we will have 500
01:03:58people. Holidays. In summer camps, this is an opportunity to spend
01:04:01time as usefully as possible. In Vitebsk region, for children who
01:04:05are interested in journalism, a media shift was organized. This is an introduction to
01:04:09the profession in an interactive format. The program included workshops on
01:04:12video shooting, editing, and working with neural networks, as well as meetings with
01:04:16experienced journalists and bloggers. During this period, we
01:04:19can identify the most talented children with whom we will work
01:04:22starting in September in the media laboratory of Vitebsk region. I have great ambitions
01:04:26for this shift, I also believe that the children are not only.
01:05:00real Belarusians, thank you,
