Podgorica, 18 June 2026 – Members of the AI-AGE project team participated in the scientific event “AI Economy”, held at the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (MASA). The event brought together representatives of academia, researchers, experts and stakeholders to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy, education, professions, healthcare, digital transformation and broader societal development.
The participation of the AI-AGE team focused on the importance of building local knowledge, research capacity and educational infrastructure for the responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence. Particular attention was given to the role of AI in education, the development of interdisciplinary skills, and the need to prepare students, researchers and institutions for an environment in which AI tools are becoming part of everyday professional and scientific practice.
The event also provided an opportunity to highlight the relevance of high-performance computing (HPC) for AI research and innovation. Access to advanced computing infrastructure is increasingly important for training and testing AI models, processing large datasets, supporting biomedical and data-driven research, and strengthening the overall capacity of universities and research teams in Montenegro.
Through its activities, the AI-AGE project continues to contribute to capacity building in the fields of AI, HPC and applied data science, with a particular focus on education, research excellence and the development of solutions that can support healthcare, science and society. Participation in events such as “AI Economy” is an important step in strengthening cooperation between academia, research projects and wider institutional stakeholders in Montenegro.
