ABOUT
Scientists, practitioners, dreamers, investors, impact-makers, business professionals
In 2018 we started discussing and in January 2019 we have incorporated SCAI and set it on its journey towards fulfilment of its Mission and Objectives...
Mission
The coming years will require massive amounts of high-quality research, organization and investments - delivered easily, efficiently, and at scale.
Our mission is to help our society, academic and business community to meet that challenge.
Immediate objective
For 2019-2020, the primary objective of the Bulgarian Strategic Center for Artificial Intelligence is to develop, share, promote and execute ideas about how AI can be used to tackle the most difficult societal and business problems.
We believe that this agenda can best be tackled by a genuine partnership between altogether national and EU public, academic and leading private stakeholders.
