According to Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Harutyun Avetisyan, we should not be afraid of developed artificial intelligence for another 10 years
About the “last squeak” high technology – creation of two-nanometer microprocessors already in 2024 – said the head of the Academy, Gennady Krasnikov, at the General Meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which opened on December 12 in Moscow. Unfortunately, this is not our achievement, but that of Intel. But Russian scientists keep their finger on the pulse, although they lag behind the most advanced world developments, – They are just approaching the creation of microprocessors measuring 28 nanometers. But we were ahead of the rest of the planet in terms of “taming” artificial intelligence. About the latest scientific achievements – in the material of the “MK” observer.

To begin with, we must objectively note that the authority of the Russian Academy of Sciences is growing. This was noted by all its members with whom I had the opportunity to talk on this topic, and this was also proven by a large list of Russian ministers and political figures who graced the General Meeting on Tuesday with their presence.
The first scientific report on microelectronics was read out by naturally, the President of the Academy himself. First he told me “how it is with them”:
— The road map is accelerating and moving forward. Moreover, it is ahead of schedule: they planned (at Intel) to make 2-nanometer technology by 2025, but are ready to present it already in 2024…
Then Gennady Yakovlevich moved to our microelectronics production. Let's omit its complex details, noting only Krasnikov's positive expectations regarding the formation of the necessary technological chains in our country: photoresistors, technological equipment, electronic engineering…
– We need to restore this situation, as it was in the Soviet Union, – he said. – I have suggestions for all branches. <…> — I believe that the work will develop, and in the next 4-5 years we will see qualitative changes.
One of the next reports – Director of the Institute of System Programming RAS named after. V.P. Ivannikov Harutyun Avetisyan was dedicated to the creation of trusted artificial intelligence.
The term “trusted” used in a number of international and Russian documents and means transparency and security for the user. In general, this is an ethical topic over which reliable technologies must stand as guardians.
Mathematician Avetisyan reassured us a little, saying that artificial intelligence, which many people use to scare humanity today, is essentially not scary, and Russia has rich potential in the development of technologies that can tame reckless AI.
«Now we live in the world of weak artificial intelligence, and there is no question about its subjectivity,” – The academician informed those present and promised to explain this thesis during the break. The MK correspondent took advantage of this.
If you look at what is happening in the world (by the way, several articles by the guys from Google have recently been published about this), then all existing generative models still work only in that segment and on the data on which they were trained, – explains Harutyun Ishkhanovich. – Behind this – a simple thing: in fact, everything that we now call AI — this is machine learning. It may be very cunning, but it’s just machine learning.
– There is hope, but this will not happen earlier than in 10 years. This cannot be achieved using supercomputer resources – we need more cunning mathematics inside.. However, someone says that there are 2 years left before the advent of artificial intelligence…
– It is, in part, clearly visible when the degradation of the “miracle” occurs, when a car suddenly runs into a pedestrian and for some reason, instead of stopping, begins to behave inappropriately: it continues to move, but in reverse. It is impossible to prepare AI for every eventuality…
– Unlike conventional information systems, which are checked, in AI it is often not clear what needs to be checked. At the same time, the benefits from its use are high – Labor productivity is increasing everywhere. Everything is being implemented, but without taking into account the component that the system is not fully trusted. Moreover, it’s not just about bookmarks…
– In other words – poisoned data that can be slipped in by scammers. Your machine will learn from them, and after that your system can be hacked. For example: a person creates a computer vision structure that should control the perimeter around a house so that intruders do not enter the territory. But he was given such data that a person puts on a certain (specified in the bookmark) badge or cap, and the system lets him through.
– We can be proud because we were the first to sound the alarm; five years ago we created a new specialty in universities: “Cybersecurity”. We are developing at a normal level.
…Next, experts spoke on the most advanced laser technologies in the country, issues of climate change, transformation of the world order.
Closing the first part of the meeting, scientists seemed , were pleased, because even at the beginning of his speech, Gennady Krasnikov announced the beginning of support from the Ministry of Finance for the sixth, military subprogram of the FSTP, noted that from 2024 the categorization of RAS institutes, which prevented the development of institutes of categories 2 and 3, will be abolished, and also pleased the members of the academy RAS, whose scholarships will be increased from January 2024.
