President and Director agreed to jointly work on series of conferences and events in 2025 to promote public awareness about evolution of Latvia through centuries and how development of language has influenced the formation of our nation.
President of Latvia also stressed: ‘Technological development forces us to take a serious look at how human sciences and social frameworks should control development of artificial intelligence. In 10 years from now, people will still want to know which products have been created by artificial intelligence and which by humans. It is crucial to preserve the human authenticity.’
