Organized by: Montenegrin Chamber of Engineers
Moderator: Ivan Bošković, IT Advanced Services CEO

Last week, an esteemed panel of experts gathered to explore the future horizons of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) in the field of engineering. The discussions delved into the challenges, prospects, research opportunities, and ethics associated with A.I. Here’s a brief recap of the illuminating insights shared:

Panelists:

  1. Prof. Dr. Vesna Popovic Bugarin – An eminent faculty member at the Faculty of Electrotechnical Engineering, University of Montenegro.
  2. Dr. Mihailo Backovic – A renowned A.I. entrepreneur hailing from Belgium.
  3. Nikola Bulatović & Ana Asanin – Vibrant representatives from Montenegro’s budding A.I. startup community.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Education & Skill Development: The rapidly evolving landscape of A.I. necessitates not just engineers but professionals across verticals to be well-acquainted with A.I. tools and methodologies.
  2. Data Challenges: One of the pivotal challenges underscored was the acquisition of robust and meaningful datasets. These datasets are imperative for the effective training of A.I. models and for advancing research in the domain.
  3. Startup Ecosystem: While Montenegro’s startup community is in its nascent stages, there’s tremendous potential for growth. A concerted effort is required to nurture and strengthen the startup ecosystem.
  4. Ethics & Regulation: A recurring theme was the ethical implications of A.I. With its pervasive influence, there’s an imperative need for comprehensive regulations. These regulations should not only foster innovation but also address potential ethical quandaries.

The discussions were enlightening and pointed towards a promising yet challenging future. It emphasized collective responsibility – from academia to industry, from startups to regulatory bodies – to navigate the A.I. revolution judiciously.
