On Saturday, May 31st, the wider public had the opportunity to hear an exceptionally timely and important discussion on Kurir TV's "Puls Srbije" program, featuring our senior research associate, Dr. Nikola Mirkov. The topic of discussion centered on the challenges posed by new technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence.
Dr. Mirkov expertly analyzed the escalating impact of large data centers, driven by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, on overall electricity consumption. Drawing particular attention to recent electrical grid collapses in Spain and Portugal, he emphasized how crucial energy stability is in the age of digitalization.

Dr. Mirkov's message highlighted the necessity of supporting start-up companies in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly through technology transfer directly from ongoing research projects. Such an initiative is crucial for leveraging the full potential of innovations developed in scientific institutions and transforming them into commercially viable, socially beneficial products. The "Vinča" Institute remains committed to bridging the gap between scientific discoveries and practical application, supporting such initiatives for the benefit of the entire community.
