00:01:53Republic, including a
00:02:00they are important primarily because they have entered, firstly,
00:02:03the response system. By now, it has been developed and
00:02:06formed. Many countries around the world have built their systems on this principle,
00:02:10implementing systems of protective measures,
00:02:13and entire complexes of work
00:02:16to ensure security, food security,
00:02:20the forest sector, and so on.
00:02:23These are the building blocks that currently shape the
00:02:27standard of living and the approaches with which we...
00:03:03global challenges, Belarusian experience, and gratitude
00:03:06for developing union ties. The President met
00:03:10with the Chairman of the Central Committee of Russia's Communist
00:03:13Party. As usual, the head of state discussed a wide
00:03:16range of topics, including Belarusian-Russian relations and
00:03:20interparty cooperation. There was also a solemn moment.
00:03:24Gennady Zyuganov awarded Alexander Lukashenka with the
00:03:27Lenin Prize. It was revived.
00:04:00the post-Soviet space, I say this with absolute
00:04:03authority. I've been everywhere, I know the
00:04:06country well. I've been to 80 countries, and I'll
00:04:10tell you frankly, when I saw that even Belarus's
00:04:14adversary ranked the country among the top five
00:04:17safest, most energetic countries, and in the post-Soviet
00:04:21space, you have doubled your Soviet
00:04:24potential. Your achievement is that you have
00:04:27built on the best of the Soviet era, adding to
00:04:30it without reinventing or throwing
00:04:33anything away, moving forward. This is what gives you
00:04:37honor and personal gratitude. Allow me to
00:04:40present you with this high award.
00:04:43The
00:04:47Lenin Prize of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the
00:04:51Russian Federation is awarded for contributions to the promotion of
00:04:55the ideas of a just and multipolar world, for efforts to
00:04:59strengthen the union state and preserve historical
00:05:02heritage.
00:05:09Minsk and Tashkent continue to strengthen.
00:05:42within our parliaments, we exchange visits,
00:05:46participate in various international events, and
00:05:49devote considerable attention to trade and economic
00:05:53issues. is primarily interested in the
00:05:57possibility of supplying its equipment to
00:06:00Uzbekistan. Trade turnover between Belarus and
00:06:04Uzbekistan reached almost 1 billion last
00:06:08year.
00:06:12troopers have arrived in China to participate in Swift Eagle
00:06:162026 exercises. The maneuvers will
00:06:19take place from August 11th to 24th in Hubei Province
00:06:22in the central part of China. The participants will
00:06:25practice counter-terrorism operations. They will improve their
00:06:28skills in conducting reconnaissance, seizing and
00:06:31holding positions, clearing the territory, and organizing
00:06:35defense. The current maneuvers focus on joint counter-terrorism
00:06:38operations in urban environments.
00:06:44A symbol of his era: an exhibition commemorating Fidel
00:06:48Castro's 100th birthday has opened in the House
00:06:51of Representatives. It features rare museum exhibits reflecting
00:06:55the history of Belarusian-Cuban ties. The exhibition
00:06:59includes photographs from his 1972 visit to the
00:07:03Belarusian Soviet Socialist
00:07:06wreath-laying ceremony at the Victory Monument and a visit to the
00:07:10Khatyn Memorial Complex. Fidel.
00:07:42work in the House of Representatives as part
00:07:45of events aimed at developing dialogue between the two
00:07:49countries.
00:07:56The Made in Belarus brand continues to conquer international
00:07:59markets. In May and June alone, a company from Kobrin
00:08:03shipped 16 tons of ice cream to China. A
00:08:06specialized store selling this Belarusian delicacy has also
00:08:10opened in Shanghai. Naturality and authentic
00:08:13taste are the features that customers
00:08:15appreciate.
00:08:17The opening of our first store exceeded our expectations.
00:08:21Business is booming with many repeat customers, and
00:08:24surprisingly, the majority of our customers are elderly.
00:08:28Furthermore, many customers travel from far and wide,
00:08:32spending two or three hours on the bus, having heard so much about
00:08:36the deliciousness of Belarusian ice
00:08:38cream. The ice cream is delicious, really.
00:09:14The future of Belarus lies in its talented youth. The results
00:09:18of prestigious international intellectual competitions only
00:09:21confirm this. Belarusian students returned from the International
00:09:25Mathematics Competition with historic results, winning
00:09:28six gold medals in the individual competition. In the
00:09:32team competition, Belarus placed second among
00:09:35135 universities
00:09:37worldwide. So, it's not a surprise; it's a result of
00:09:40systematic work that began four years ago at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics
00:09:44and Computer Science in our department. The
00:09:4733rd International Student Mathematics Competition was held in
00:09:51Bulgaria this year, bringing together approximately
00:09:54500 participants from 48
00:09:57countries.
00:10:01Belarus consistently ranks among the top 20 countries with the
00:10:04lowest infant mortality rates. Our country also ranks
00:10:08among the top international ratings for a comfortable place to give birth and
00:10:12raise children. This result is achieved through a combination of
00:10:15parents, doctors, and technology. Particular attention
00:10:19is paid to children who were born with extremely low weight,
00:10:22sometimes less than a kilogram.
00:10:26One of the priority tasks in neonatology today is the
00:10:29care of premature babies. It's a huge challenge if a baby is
00:10:33born extremely prematurely. This means
00:10:36periods of 24 weeks bordering on the survival
00:10:39period. Here we are faced with the need to support the function of
00:10:43practically all
00:10:43organs.
00:10:47An integrated approach not only saves lives but also reduces
00:10:51the risk of complications in the future. Thanks to the concern
00:10:54of Christian doctors, more and more children are getting a chance
00:10:58to live a full
00:10:59life.
00:11:06Belarus is ready to contribute to the development
00:11:09of cultural cooperation with the BRICS countries. This was
00:11:12stated by the Deputy Minister of Culture of Belarus in his
00:11:16speech at the 11th BRICS Culture Ministers' Meeting in
00:11:19India. The meeting in Bhopal concluded with the adoption of a
00:11:23declaration on the development of cooperation in the field of
00:11:26restitution of cultural property. Another
00:11:29important outcome, the Ministries of Culture of Belarus
00:11:32and India agreed to sign an intergovernmental program on
00:11:36cooperation in the field of
00:11:38culture.
00:11:41The Belarusian town Ivye hosted a unique festival that has
00:11:45already become a tradition. A theatrical parade, a competition for
00:11:48the largest tomato harvest, and the best themed costume made the
00:11:52festival unforgettable, but the most...
00:15:25approach to transforming its tourism industry. A digital tourism
00:15:28atlas of the region is currently under development. The
00:15:32app will leverage the region's full potential. Information Center
00:15:36specialists will help travelers choose a destination or plan
00:15:39a route. Their network will eventually cover all districts of the
00:15:43region. The Vitebsk region has also launched its own tourism
00:15:46brand. A traveling bear will welcome guests and promote the region's
00:15:50image. The image of this forest dweller evokes an authentic
00:15:53experience, which aligns with current demand for eco-tourism and
00:15:56immersion in the local
00:15:57environment.
00:18:07science on the development of our country's intellect
00:18:10as one of the fundamental resources, and it's
00:18:13not in vain that Alexander Gennadievich, in one of his interviews,
00:18:17said that I even wrote down for myself, today more than
00:18:2055% of all
00:18:23resources on the planet are intellectual capital. So let's
00:18:26start with that, esteemed colleagues. Let's explain what you understand by
00:18:30"intellectual capital" and what it represents in our
00:18:34country. That's absolutely correct, Dmitry. Why
00:18:37this figure is being mentioned today. We all probably feel, living as we do, that the world
00:18:41is changing very fast. The economy is changing, the
00:18:45world is changing, nature is changing. If before we always talked about
00:18:49material things determining the development of all
00:18:51humanity, and wealth too, well, oil
00:18:55companies, oil, gas, gold,
00:18:58were first, that is, it was all land, that is, it was
00:19:02resources, then starting somewhere at the turn of the 20th
00:19:05century, for the first time... As an economist, I'll say now that
00:19:09the value of intangible assets exceeded that of material ones. If
00:19:12we take Samsung, Tesla,
00:19:15Apple, if we calculate the value
00:19:19of factories, that is, the actual walls,
00:19:22the equipment that is installed there,
00:19:25expensive as it may be, the price is high, but it will still be
00:19:29approximately 20%
00:19:32of the company's value, uh-huh. That is,
00:19:36today, in the world, well...
00:19:46century, the total value of intangible assets, that is, patents, technologies, information – this is money today – exceeded the value of material assets. This
00:19:50is where, as they say, the technology race began. But
00:19:54again, before, for an oil company to enter the market, well,
00:19:57to extract resources, or a coal or metallurgical company,
00:20:01these were the richest, and today, by the way, they still are. But
00:20:05today, these...
00:20:37costs quite little, creates
00:20:41today only a high-tech park, exports
00:20:44products, or rather, services, software, more than almost
00:20:482 billion dollars.
00:20:50And we can say that our intellectual capital of the Republic of Belarus is truly
00:20:53significant, developing, yes, and
00:20:57here we definitely, Belarus has
00:21:01a very large, well, it even includes, I'll say, I can't help but mention
00:21:05our brands, including the brand, and reputation, in
00:21:08intellectual capital also includes
00:21:11the so-called brand, reputation, how you are known in the
00:21:14market. For example, today the Belarus tractor is
00:21:17not only the tractor itself... this is also
00:21:21a brand, if you sell it, it is known all over the world, every tenth
00:21:25tractor, it
00:21:27is,
00:21:29well, let's say, sold under the brand in the world, produced in many places,
00:21:33but sold under the brand Belarus, yes,
00:21:36probably, there are our other brands,
00:21:40which again, like MAZ, Integral, that is,
00:21:44BelAZ,
00:21:44BelAZ,
00:21:48and today this is no less important, because if we get a
00:21:51high-tech product
00:21:55without a brand, well, the same tractor, unknown by what
00:21:59name, we immediately start thinking about it, the president often
00:22:03talks about quality now, because the brand is unknown and how it works
00:22:07is far from clear to us. This
00:22:10also includes, let's say, image and consumer
00:22:14trust in products on the foreign market. If Samsung, well,
00:22:18not to mention advertising or there...
00:23:20again, one of the best schools. But although
00:23:23today we have already started dealing with
00:23:25import substitution, there are niche products, for example, lithography. In
00:23:29lithography, it is used in microelectronics. It was used
00:23:33before. Well, American,
00:23:37at best, and
00:23:40tell our viewers and listeners what
00:23:42lithography is. It's one of the technologies used in
00:23:46the production of microcircuits, that is, to make a pattern. These
00:23:502, 10 nanometers - well, 10 nm is
00:23:54already a slightly different technology, but 60 nm
00:23:57and above uses lithography. That is, it's one of the most complex
00:24:01technologies for producing microcircuits. And
00:24:04for, accordingly, well, we in Belarus produce microcircuits at Integral,
00:24:07we produce equipment for lithography, but
00:24:11one of the key elements is the excimer laser, which is
00:24:14used for
00:24:17this technology. By the way, I'll tell you, for example, what
00:24:20it is. This will probably be very important for
00:24:23viewers or listeners. One such laser costs no less than a million
00:24:27dollars. Uh-huh. Therefore, it is still very... but not
00:24:30only does it cost a lot, yes, it costs a lot, but it is also
00:24:34produced by only two companies in the
00:24:37world. Therefore, to repeat this technology, today we
00:24:40are engaged in development, well, since we have Integral, it is clear
00:24:44that they will not sell it to us, of course, we, I think, will be able to
00:24:47create our own in the near future. microelectronics, there are physical
00:25:20processes, there is the movement of electrons, current,
00:25:24there is optics, the movement of light, and again, the decomposition of these, so now we
00:25:27combine optics with microelectronics, well, I'll call it that,
00:25:31we certainly didn't create it, but we are also working on it, also
00:25:33a quantum computer, this
00:25:35is a combination,
00:25:38of course, you know, in science this definitely needs to
00:25:42be done, at least, so that we understand how it
00:25:45works, because we must not fall behind the general,
00:25:48yes, global trend. Well, again, the simplest thing
00:25:52I'll ask, well, we all have a mobile
00:25:55phone today, but I think far from every
00:25:58country, and even more so every consumer will be able to say
00:26:02what this mobile
00:26:05phone is made of, what elements are there, not to mention how
00:26:09to design it. That is, we at least need to understand how
00:26:12it works, not just to be able to use it. But we all use it and seem
00:26:15to live quite well, yes, in a car, many people probably, if they open the
00:26:19hood, will not say what
00:26:22is going on there and how it works. Nevertheless, we use it. But if we want, and we are a
00:26:26high-tech country, to create it, then we must
00:26:29understand how it first works. Yes, first,
00:26:33understand how it works, well, because to create, as
00:26:37in school, in science, first understand, you need to understand what it is, and then
00:26:41you can suggest how to create it or develop
00:26:44it further. But often such a, hmm, well,
00:26:48not even a paradox, but rather a question, a challenge, is heard:
00:26:51that fundamental science is science for the future, that research is laid down,
00:26:54this research is conducted, then a result is obtained, and most often,
00:26:58and you, by the way, also noted this, that the economy and the Belarusian economy as a whole,
00:28:0210 years, they will all be in demand, but
00:28:06the demand will be at different times. Well, and now how to divide? We
00:28:09try in the Academy of Sciences, after all, of course, we work in
00:28:12sectors. If this system is built in our country, there are scientific
00:28:16research programs where we concentrate, we make a reserve for
00:28:20the future, and there are scientific and technical programs and
00:28:23state programs where we concentrate on applied research,
00:28:26where we solve specific tasks
00:28:29of specific industries or sectors.
00:28:32of the economy. Well, if we conditionally divide, again,
00:28:36it's very difficult to divide where the boundary is, where
00:28:40fundamental research ends and
00:28:42applied research begins. Yes, probably, there's no need to divide. The President, again,
00:28:46I will repeat the President's words, the main thing is the result, whether it will be done within the framework of fundamental
00:28:50research or applied, but probably it doesn't matter to all of us citizens,
00:28:54the main thing is that this result is achieved.
00:28:57Well, roughly 30 to 40, I'll say in the Academy, about
00:29:0030% of our
00:29:03work is for the future, about
00:29:0640% is applied, specifically what needs
00:29:10to be developed and done now, to solve specific tasks today. Uh-huh,
00:29:13thank you. You spoke about
00:29:17import substitution, we touched on that a little, you also spoke
00:29:20about, well, the development of our
00:29:23own competencies, well, in quantum research
00:29:26and so on and so forth, but it's very interesting. Now, indeed, in
00:29:30the conditions of this sanctions pressure, perhaps we always
00:29:33say that markets are being restructured, but we talk very little about
00:29:37whether Belarusian science is being restructured in any way, and in terms of
00:29:40partnership relations, you repeatedly mentioned one of the creators in China,
00:29:44there - well, in Southeast Asia, various
00:29:48gadgets and so on. And how are scientific achievements
00:29:51being established, a partnership exchange, perhaps
00:29:54of some knowledge with our global
00:29:58partners? This includes the Russian Federation, this is China, well, and
00:30:01in general, in countries of Africa, Southeast Asia,
00:30:04it is often heard today that they talk
00:30:08about rare earth metals, which, by the way, are used in rare alloys,
00:30:11and so on. Does Belarus and science work in this direction
00:30:15in some way? No, of course. But the sector is changing,
00:30:18the directions are changing, but not because we wanted it that way.
00:30:22Of course, before we worked more with global markets, with
00:30:26European ones, with Germany, Italy, although I don't want to say
00:30:29that we stopped working despite all the sanctions. This also applies to
00:30:33Poland, Lithuania, Latvia. Science is outside politics, yes, science is outside politics,
00:30:36and this is indeed true, because scientists always solve global, if
00:30:40they are true scientists, they solve a global problem
00:30:43that is aimed at solving the problems of all humanity, and not
00:30:47of some country or political system. And I often
00:30:50say that scientists are truly outside
00:30:54politics. They always communicate, always find
00:30:57a common language and common ground and solutions
00:31:00to problems. That is, they do not defend narrow interests
00:31:04of some country or political system.
00:31:07Well, how does it work? Of course, today with Russian colleagues, with the Russian
00:31:10Academy of Sciences, we have very warm ties, there are many
00:31:14areas... Well, of course, space,
00:31:17which is on everyone's lips, where we, let's say, Belarusians, well,
00:31:21by ourselves, well, simply put, probably won't always be able to afford
00:31:25it with those costs, but the president emphasized, "Small but precious." But we can offer a lot
00:31:28in this direction, this is of course about
00:31:32China, again, today there will be a lunar
00:31:35program to be looked at, as many
00:31:38developments that are being made in this direction, this is of course
00:31:41materials science. We touched on microelectronics,
00:31:45today Russia is also developing it, it's just that, well, it happened that they don't
00:31:48sell it to us, and since they don't sell it, we have to think about how
00:31:52to do it ourselves, and do it in a very short
00:31:56time. Well, again, I'll give an example from my
00:31:59department. We have a metallurgical plant. At one time, we
00:32:03imported sensors for rolling control,
00:32:06well, it makes rolled bars, of course, it was bought from
00:32:10abroad, the system was foreign, well...
00:32:13it needs to be changed every 3
00:32:16months. That's it, they don't sell it to us, but
00:32:19we were able, to a certain extent, to a certain extent,
00:32:23I'll say, to copy this sensor, and to copy it for industry
00:32:27within 9 months we could already make a prototype. Yes,
00:32:30those who understand science, in technologies, to make
00:32:33an analogous sensor that can be installed in production in 9
00:32:37months, that's very fast. Moreover,
00:32:39today if the sensor, well, first it...
00:32:43it was accepted, it works, that is, completely import-substituting, the price,
00:32:47by the way, of such a sensor, I'll also give as an economist, I can't say, 600
00:32:50euros, it seems, what's a sensor that every 3
00:32:53months, well, of course, the plant has other volumes, so,
00:32:57and today this sensor, moreover, tests show, well,
00:33:00operation, that it already works not three months, but four
00:33:04months, uh-huh, reliable, more reliable, less often
00:33:07needs to be changed, and further, that is, we not only managed
00:33:11to create such sensors, we also today improved them
00:33:15from the point of view of, again, products. Today, of course, Russian colleagues
00:33:19are already interested in them, because they cannot buy them, well, through parallel
00:33:23imports, and even there it's a question. So many such questions arose
00:33:26when it became clear that we needed to make
00:33:30our own, well, in many parameters,
00:33:33quite quickly we, as Belarusians, were able to
00:33:37do this. This is returning to the question of intellectual capital.
00:33:40Intellectual capital also says
00:33:44how much...
00:34:45And many didn't even know before that you could talk about it, or that you could get into
00:34:48a research institute for an internship. That is, it's working with
00:34:51universities together with the education system. Well, most of our
00:34:55academics and doctors of science naturally teach at
00:34:58universities. Disciplines then, well, they select the best from there,
00:35:02invite them for internships, then they come, work, a specific
00:35:06task is already set, starting from placement
00:35:09or further education in postgraduate studies. Again, the best
00:35:13students who did well, we invite them to continue
00:35:16their education at the Academy of Sciences in postgraduate studies, or
00:35:20to be assigned to an institute.
00:35:23Of course, we provide, well, thanks to
00:35:26the presidential support program, again, we
00:35:29provide housing, rental housing,
00:35:33quite good, well, because for a young person, especially from
00:35:36the hinterland, well, everyone would go through this,
00:35:40housing, and for Minsk, this is probably one of the key
00:35:43questions, next. Of course, various
00:35:47structures have been built, we have a fund for fundamental research, where all
00:35:50young people can participate, separate competitions are held for young people to receive grants for their
00:35:53research, well there is again the presidential
00:35:57program, this is the scholarship of the president for talented
00:36:01young scientists, 100 such scholarships, I'll say right away,
00:36:04no less than for example,
00:36:0630-40 people - these are representatives always annually
00:36:10from the Academy of Sciences, well not representatives, but
00:36:13winners. This is, of course, with the
00:36:16State Committee, the possibility of participation in 100 Ideas for
00:36:19Belarus, you know that we have, among other things, 100 Ideas for
00:36:22at the Academy
00:36:25of Sciences.
00:36:27of this competition.
00:36:58And then there were ideas, today you know, annually we, again, the Academy
00:37:02наук участвует, это сегодня действительно проработанные проекты, и то, что
00:37:06is being offered has already really turned into a real product
00:37:10in the country, into real production, into real business, which is
00:37:13very important, uh-huh,
00:37:17speaking also about supporting young guys, we are also talking about one
00:37:21thing, yes, here is research, here it is ready, effective, but there are
00:37:24results specifically on a competitive basis. For example,
00:37:27at the international level, yes, just recently our guys
00:37:31приехали с Олимпиады в Узбекистане по
00:37:34informatics, literally with medals, gold and so
00:37:37on, just a week ago
00:37:41from the championship yes, there was an Olympiad
00:37:45related to data science and so
00:37:49on, with a large amount of data, programming, models and so
00:37:52on, and these are schools, how is the work organized here, is there
00:37:56such a thing at all? We have a multi-stage connection,
00:37:59support for the Olympiad movement, the Ministry
00:38:03of Education, then school,
00:38:06the third year, do schoolchildren
00:38:10the Academy of Sciences, is it some kind of miracle for them
00:38:13organized, this is also
00:38:16we have already started working with schools, of course, as an academy, but still
00:38:20we used to work more with students, universities, but today with
00:38:23schools, for example, we have a
00:39:15great comma to talk about
00:39:19the topic of artificial intelligence. We practically talk about it almost every
00:39:22week here in this studio because it is, after all, a
00:39:26new era, a new... understanding and restructuring of many
00:39:29processes, somewhere we are on the threshold, someone is already ahead, and
00:39:33I would like to hear your opinion, indeed, both as an academician
00:39:36and as a scientist who also pays enough attention to this, and
00:39:39we know that in your department, artificial intelligence and research are given enough
00:39:43time, because there is a lot of anxiety,
00:39:47challenges, not all people understand what it is, some always say that it
00:39:51will replace us all, some say that it is all some
00:39:54great discovery
00:39:58that will help people in everything, but still if we put all that aside, in a nutshell,
00:40:01what is it, in your opinion? Well, artificial
00:40:05intelligence, in my opinion, and even at the legislative level, it has been established
00:40:09that it is only still a technology, that is,
00:40:12this intelligence, in general, from my point of view, only
00:40:15humans possess intelligence so far. All the rest, even if it is smart, is
00:40:19technology created by humans. Yes,
00:40:22it learns quickly, yes, it develops quickly, like any technology,
00:40:26but it is only... technology. But
00:40:29undoubtedly, in the future, what artificial intelligence
00:40:32cannot do yet, let's start, as they say, in science, as they say, from the opposite proof, we remember
00:40:36theorems from school, that is, what it cannot do yet,
00:40:40artificial intelligence cannot generate new knowledge,
00:40:43it can generate content, but this is also
00:40:46based on information that it has been taught, but this is not new
00:40:50knowledge, it cannot invent, it cannot offer anything new, yes,
00:40:53it already talks to us very similarly, but it's all...
00:41:27again, our latest development, for example, we
00:41:30call it artificial intelligence, this is, for example, the detection of diseases,
00:41:34for example, oncological, others, from lung images,
00:41:38it, well, a person... when a doctor examines
00:41:41an image, he may not always notice some flaw,
00:41:45a small flaw, well, we are all human and get tired, the machine
00:41:48will not miss this, plus it automatically comparing
00:41:52with a huge amount of data, can immediately identify what
00:41:56possible disease it may be, a doctor, well, for example, not always
00:42:00an experienced one, may not pay attention to this spot,
00:42:03the machine will always notice it immediately, and
00:42:06this is like a tool, a hint to the doctor.
00:42:10"Pay attention to this
00:42:14element." And this is just, I'm saying,
00:42:17a high speed of solving problems, again, medicines before, but it's one thing we could
00:42:21create medicines, when we created some formula, tested it
00:42:25on a biological object there, on mice, looked,
00:42:28it works, it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but we tried the next, the third,
00:42:32the fifth, the tenth, today we can do this in a virtual
00:42:36world, we create formulas and not that we first look for...
00:42:40what kind of chemical element
00:42:43will fight this disease or what formula and how it
00:42:46will fight, and then we synthesize purposefully
00:42:50chemically try to create this, this is
00:42:53a significant reduction in time, if before it took, say, 10
00:42:57years, well, today it can be done in five, and consider that
00:43:01we all, unfortunately, get sick and the speed of creating
00:43:04new effective medicines, this is very
00:43:07important, but does this mean that, this is very interesting. The thesis also
00:43:10exists now that all research that will
00:43:14involve this method of selecting from a huge array
00:43:18of data numbers or a huge array of data, that now we are on
00:43:21the verge, literally in the next 5 years, of such, not just
00:43:25discoveries, but the acceleration of some
00:43:28scientific achievements that are based on processing a large amount
00:43:31of data, new formulas, as you said, perhaps
00:43:34something, yes, this is why resources are
00:43:37invested, well, again, from simple
00:43:40logistics, we all use a navigator today,
00:43:44this, by the way, as a technology, if you don't have it, but I think
00:43:48in rush hour without
00:43:50Minsk, even any driver, as laymen, we will probably drive
00:44:47of artificial intelligence allow us to significantly reduce
00:44:50time, and first of all, the time of testing,
00:44:53to reduce the cost of testing time, because when we
00:44:57created a machine, it's one thing to create it in
00:45:00hardware, test it on a test site, and another thing
00:45:03to virtually test it, immediately find those possible flaws
00:45:06that were there and correct them first, and then already create it
00:45:10with that in mind. So, in principle, the thesis can be confirmed that most
00:45:14likely some achievements with
00:45:16these technologies, yes, literally with the help of artificial
00:45:20intelligence, many things like creating medicines, and there
00:45:23creating machines, yes, and today we have the creation of the same
00:45:27mobile devices, thanks to this
00:45:30acceleration, the technological process
00:45:43aspect, not only artificial intelligence, but in general, because
00:45:46you can often hear, and what you said today, quantum computer
00:45:50is good, ethics in the use of artificial intelligence, mind
00:45:54control, meaning
00:45:58genetics and much, much more, in fact, are there
00:46:01today, how do Belarusian scientists approach this, are there perhaps
00:46:05Belarusian science to such ethical
00:46:09questions or?
00:47:45opinion is also very interesting, how will Belarusian science develop and how do you see
00:47:49Belarus in 10-15 years? You know?
00:47:53I'll dream here, Belarusian science will definitely develop well with us,
00:47:57because I will say that the Belarusian nation is a nation, sometimes I
00:48:00say, it's a nation of creative people, generally
00:48:03engineers, many inventions were generally
00:48:06created, have roots, come from Belarus, that
00:48:10is, it's like working on the future, we have good
00:48:13education today, that is, people get it from school in
00:48:16universities, and the main thing is that they are taught, unlike the American
00:48:20system somewhere there,
00:48:22what the president said again, moving away today from
00:48:26tests, tests, by the way, Americans invented them, not
00:48:29us, we still taught to create,
00:48:32to create the future, to think, because today
00:48:35it's not a problem, no,
00:48:39paradoxically, to create production, today the problem is
00:48:42ideas, what new to
00:48:45invent, this
00:48:48is already the second question, the first is what new to invent? that
00:48:52is, what technologies, what kind of car, what kind of
00:48:56aviation will there be, what kind of TV, what kind of computer, that is, what
00:48:59to invent in this abundance of new things, this is exactly
00:49:03where we are quite strong as Belarusians, well, you
00:49:07know, thinking about
00:49:09the future in 10-15 years, we have no other resource, we must always use the
00:49:13resource, the president also talks about this, that we have in the country, if we have
00:49:17talented people, then these talented people need to be given conditions so that
00:49:21they create without...
00:49:52What is an R&D center, generally speaking, yes, it's a development
00:49:56center, that is, a development center,
00:49:59any high-tech company, moreover,
00:50:02it's not in one country, as a rule, it creates such centers in different directions,
00:50:06and then even compares the results, these are important, these
00:50:09centers, I would see our Belarus as
00:50:13such a global center, well,
00:50:16I'll call it without the English abbreviation,
00:50:20a global development center. For many
