BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 10. It is planned to introduce artificial intelligence training in 70 percent of Azerbaijani universities in the next three years, Azerbaijan's Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev said at the “INMerge Innovation Summit” organized by PASHA Holding for the fourth time, Trend reports.
“We plan to introduce AI training in 70 percent of universities in Azerbaijan in the next three years. Moreover, AI technologies will be applied more not only in state-owned enterprises but also in the private sector,” he stated.
The minister noted that the Azerbaijani government is proactively leveraging strategic initiatives to catalyze private sector engagement and drive investment in the transformative landscape of artificial intelligence development.
“We are also continuing our efforts on the digital transformation of the government. We have managed to fully digitize 35 percent of the population's interactions with government agencies. This refers to life situations that cause our citizens to go to ASAN centers. This reduces the number of physical visits, saves time, and reduces environmental impact,” he added.
To note, "INMerge Innovation Summit," organized by PASHA Holding, is designed to contribute to the development of the innovation ecosystem in Azerbaijan by bringing together startups and investors, providing opportunities for cooperation, as well as creating a platform for the exchange of ideas and experience between all participants of the innovation ecosystem.
