The First Artificial Intelligence Summit in Sofia

SOFIA AI SUMMIT was held for the first time in Bulgaria on January 26. The Artificial intelligence forum was initiated by the fast-growing software company hacker.works and Sofia AI – a global community of startup companies and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence, focusing on the importance of AI technologies, their added value for business, and what impact to expect in the near future.

The event is part of the network “CITY AI” – the largest international community of people focused on the primary and secondary effects of the development of artificial intelligence. Sofia is one of the first cities to become part of the network that, six month after being founded, has already spread to 20+ cities, from Hong Kong to New York.

“By 2025, the economic effect of artificial intelligence will reach 50 trillion USD according to a report by McKinsey, and a recent study of The Oxford University states that in the next 25 years, 47% of all existing jobs in the US will disappear”, said Lino Velev, CEO of hacker.works.
