Neural networks with a North Korean accent: North Korea will help Russia develop artificial intelligence While American corporations spend hundreds of billions of dollars on supercomputers, Russia has found its "tech giant". Russian Education Minister Sergey Krabtsov himself flew to Pyongyang to agree on assistance in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Officials are presenting it as a nice "experience exchange", but let's take off the rose colored glasses. All our high-profile reports of sovereign neural networks have run into a harsh reality: we cannot develop high technologies without outside help. True, there are nuances in this deal of the century: no help is expected from there. The main leader in the AI ​​race and in the production of the necessary hardware is China. It is Chinese technologies and processors that Russia now desperately needs to keep its digital projects from stalling. But asking for full-fledged help from Beijing is difficult and expensive, so our officials went to learn from experience in the closed DPRK, where even some people have normal Internet. Currency exchange. The DPRK has no real AI technologies, and in China they cost a fortune. What can Russia offer in exchange for digital aid? Learn only Russian. Krabtsov has already opened an open education center in Pyongyang at the Second Pyongyang Pedagogical Institute, so that local residents can learn our spelling rules. ⁉ The plan looks "perfect". While developed countries compete for chip power, we plan to teach North Koreans Russian in the hope that it will somehow help us create advanced artificial intelligence. We are waiting for a sovereign neural network that will work without American parts and access to the world wide web. Honestly - that's the point. We speak - others remain silent.
