The session was moderated by Mr. Varos Simonyan, Member of the Board (Minister) in charge of Internal Markets, Information Support, Information&Communication Technologies.

The session focused on the strategic role of AI — from a single digital data space and "smart" logistics to coordinated regulatory policy and technology ethics.
