Lukashenko spoke sharply on transnational challenges: international terrorism, AI, cyber threats
There are a great many transnational challenges and threats in today’s world that can and should be fought together – as stated by President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko at a meeting of the CSTO Council in Astana today
The Head of State regretted that the West is spending all its efforts to combat fake problems that it itself creates, while there are a great many transnational challenges and threats in today’s world that can and should be fought together. A vivid example is the climate agenda, which Western politicians have long turned into a business.
“The EU fashionable ‘green deal’ is nothing but a project of unfair competition, working exclusively in the interests of Western countries, which are in the first row of those responsible for atmospheric pollution,” the Belarusian leader pointed out.
Aleksandr Lukashenko singled out the following problems:
International terrorism
“Terrorist organisations take every opportunity to remind themselves. At the same time, Western countries refuse to co-operate in good faith with our organisation in the fight against this evil,” the President noted.
Artificial intelligence
According to the President, AI is increasingly being used to plan and solve military tasks. With its self-learning ability, this tool can destroy humanity if it is let out of control.
Information security and cyber threats
On the one hand, the Head of State noted, modern technologies create thousands of new opportunities and prospects. On the other hand, they give rise to many risks and threats: fakes, disinformation, attacks on critical infrastructure.
“Traditionally, the West’s readiness for dialogue on these and other important issues is not seen,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
