The Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Serbia has signed a Memorandum of Strategic Cooperation with the creative innovation center Ložionica, the Serbia Creates platform of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, and the Center for the Promotion of Science.
This strategic cooperation primarily focuses on the use of science, innovation, and artificial intelligence in the creative industries, with a particular emphasis on human creativity, intellectual capital, harmonizing technologies with people and nature. This collaboration will contribute to the overall development of the creative industries in Serbia and will also encourage the use of artificial intelligence to empower individuals and advance society and the economy.
“We aim to collaborate with the creative industries in Serbia because it is one of the priority sectors for development. We expect our institute to have some space in Ložionica, which will serve for future collaborations and further development. Given that generative artificial intelligence has great potential to impact creative industries, not only from a technical application standpoint but also from the perspective of ethics and responsible use of artificial intelligence, we look forward to collaborating with Ložionica and the Serbia Creates platform”, says Prof. Dr. Dubravko Ćulibrk, Acting Director of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Serbia.
“By joining forces, Ložionica will fulfill its mission to make Serbia’s first creative industry center a driver of Serbia in the upcoming Industrial Revolution 5.0. Serbia is already globally recognized as an important partner in artificial intelligence, which is why it was recently chosen to chair the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence. We also have a Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence that envisages its application in education, the economy, the public sector… We are recognized worldwide as a country of talented scientists, innovators, and artists. Now we should use this knowledge and excellent international position for the development of the creative sector, science, knowledge-based economies, and support for our talents”, emphasizes Ana Ilić, Director of Ložionica and the Serbia Creates platform.
“I am honored to have signed the Memorandum of Understanding, which represents the beginning of a new era for Ložionica, which I see as the cornerstone of the modern story of industrial heritage. In conjunction with scientific research, technologies, and art through creative industries, I am sure we will generate good ideas and projects that will inevitably contribute to the world we live in. Ložionica is undoubtedly a place for those who see possibilities before they become obvious”, says Danijela Vučićević, Acting Director of the Center for the Promotion of Science.
