Anna Abramova participated in the discussion of AI on the "Agora" TV Program on national television
Director of the Centre for Artificial Intelligence at MGIMO, Anna Abramova, once again participated in the "Agora" program with Mikhail Shvydkoy on the "Kultura" TV channel.
The participants of the program discussed human microchipping: Elon Musk's company, which is developing brain chips, has received permission for clinical trials on humans. This information sparked a wide-ranging discussion - to what extent will these proposed technologies alter the natural human form? How well do they align with the moral principles existing in the human society? Could the threat of such an approach to humans be more destructive than any potential positive effects? Could this lead to greater social stratification?
Other guests on the program included the director of the Institute for Advanced Brain Studies at Lomonosov Moscow State University, the head of the Neurobiology of Memory Laboratory at the P.K. Anokhin Institute of Normal Physiology, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Anokhin; an expert on international regulation of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology ("Skoltech"), Executive Secretary of the AI Committee Yuri Lindre; Director of the "Sensor-Tech" Laboratory Denis Kuleshov; Chief Researcher of the Sector for Humanities Expertise and Bioethics at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences Pavel Tishchenko; Financial Director of a group of IT companies and a user of three implants, Alexey Remizov.
