Cetinje, 28 July 2026 – A member of the AI-AGE project team took part in a high-level meeting on artificial intelligence hosted by the President of Montenegro and the President’s Cabinet. Our representative was among a group of around ten AI experts from Montenegro invited to this important discussion, alongside the President of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (CANU), representatives of universities, the diaspora, the Montenegrin AI Association (MAIA), and industry.
The discussion focused on directions for the development of artificial intelligence in Montenegro, including the need for data centres and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, and the role of research and education in building national AI capacity. These themes are closely aligned with the mission of AI-AGE, which brings together expertise in AI, HPC and biomedical research to develop non-invasive biomarkers of aging and to strengthen research and educational capacity in the country.
Being invited to this meeting was an important opportunity for AI-AGE to contribute to the national conversation on AI at the highest level of public administration. As part of the discussion, our representative proposed that domain experts — including professionals from the medical field — be included in the strategic dialogue on artificial intelligence in Montenegro, ensuring that AI development is guided by real needs in healthcare and other application areas. The team looks forward to taking part in the further steps that follow from this discussion.
