“The future of AI will reflect the choices of humanity. Our shared responsibility is to guide the development of technology wisely and ethically. As part of the global AI industry, it is crucial for a small but investing market like Latvia to shape its future, maintain global competitiveness and ensure that technology benefits society and aligns with our core values.”

"In today's highly competitive environment, the use of artificial intelligence may prove to be the decisive factor in whether a company succeeds or loses in the battle for customer attention. The untapped potential of AI remains vast, and in the coming years, we will certainly see how it changes our decision-making habits, customer service, cybersecurity, and other spheres. Our opportunity is to be among those who drive change, rather than those who merely adapt and try to catch up with the leaders."

"Latvia is at the forefront when it comes to harnessing the power of language technologies—especially in public communications and e-Government services. As AI rapidly advances, it's crucial that we continue to develop our own large language model (LLM) solutions, both nationally and regionally. By joining forces, we can ensure Latvia remains a leader in the language tech space, driving innovation and shaping the future."

"Kaut arī varētu šķist, ka mākslīgā intelekta ažiotāža pierims, patiesā pārmaiņu vētra vēl nav pat sākusies. Šī tehnoloģija ir gatava pilnībā pārveidot mūsu darbu un dzīvesveidu, un tie, kas jau šodien tai gatavojas, rītdienas pasaulē būs soli priekšā citiem."

“Artificial intelligence is like electricity in its early days. Initially, its use in business was limited, but as with electricity, in the future, business without this technology will not be possible.”

"AI-Latvia could become a truly 'national project' and a significant source of national pride. Implementing a project of this scale will require close collaboration between multiple stakeholders – technology companies, universities, financial institutions, and legislators. It will be necessary to develop the world's most progressive legal regulations for artificial intelligence, which are currently not available in any other country. Such a project will unite the country, reducing the gap between society and public administration, making the state an integral part of society and society an essential partner of the government."

“I believe in the axioms formulated by the former head of Google Mo Gavdat: (1) The development of artificial intelligence cannot be stopped; (2) This development is happening at an exponentially increasing pace; (3) Artificial intelligence will surpass people in all areas - not only in IQ and reasoning abilities, but also in emotional intelligence; (4) There will be big problems - we will spoil something, but hopefully humanity will learn something from it and will get over it. I wish everyone the courage to recognize this new reality - to show interest, research, critically evaluate, experiment and learn to use artificial intelligence to achieve their goals. It is dangerous to deceive yourself into thinking that this is a bubble that will burst. By postponing action, the gap between people and technology will grow even faster. Let's go inside!”
