Round Table at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics: Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Development

On September 30 at 17:00, in room 418 of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, a round table was held with the participation of master’s students, doctoral students, and young researchers on the topic: “The Use of AI in Solving Complex Mathematical Problems and the Risks of ‘Automated Thinking’.”

The keynote speech was delivered by PhD Kairbek Zhalgas, who presented modern approaches to the use of artificial intelligence in scientific research and discussed both its opportunities and potential risks with the participants.

The event served as a platform to reflect on how AI contributes to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular: SDG 4 (Quality Education): developing digital technology skills among students and young researchers; SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure): introducing innovative methods of problem-solving in science and industry; SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions): promoting ethical and responsible use of AI to minimize the risks of “automated thinking.”

The discussion highlighted that while artificial intelligence opens broad opportunities for progress in mathematics, it also requires careful consideration of sustainability, security, and responsibility.
