Meeting with the president of the group of companies InfoWatch and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab Natalia Kasperskaya

Yesterday at Novosibirsk State University there was a meeting with the president of the InfoWatch group of companies and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab. Natalya Kasperskaya, who came to Novosibirsk to participate in the international forum of technological development “Technoprom-2025”.

During her visit to the university, she got acquainted with the developments of NSU innovation centers, including the Center for Artificial Intelligence, discussed possible options for cooperation with the university and held a meeting with students, teachers and university staff. At the meeting, a number of topical issues in the field of information technology and ensuring Russia’s technological sovereignty were discussed.

Also during the meeting, we talked about the prospects for the development of generative artificial intelligence, primarily large language models like ChatGPT. According to Natalya Kasperskaya, this technology is greatly overrated and will soon enter a stage of decline and certain disappointment.

Natalya suggested that it would be more relevant and useful to focus on the development of other artificial intelligence technologies, in particular, autonomous control systems for unmanned vehicles, the use of AI in processing medical test data and other areas where he will take on routine work, but issue recommendations rather than make decisions.
