Desislava Taliokova, America for Bulgaria Foundation Executive Director said that the joint programme between the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT) at Sofia University and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US is a success for INSAIT, and a success for Bulgaria, during the opening event here Wednesday.
“INSAIT’s partnership with MIT will allow Bulgarian scientists and researchers to engage with and measure themselves against the world’s leading minds,” Taliokova said, adding that the collaboration is a natural outcome of numerous scientific and educational initiatives.
“It is extremely important for us to connect the Bulgarian researchers at INSAIT and Sofia University with the highest level of thought and implementation of scientific ideas,” said Tony Spassov, Vice-Rector of Sofia University. “This is an occasion to highlight that the example set by INSAIT with their remarkable achievements in recent years is beginning to inspire other top researchers in Bulgaria as well.” He emphasized that competition is an essential mechanism for surfacing the best results.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) consistently ranks first globally in engineering and technology disciplines. The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is the largest computer science research lab at MIT and is behind landmark achievements such as RSA cryptography, the first autonomous robots, and many foundations of modern machine learning.
