Bulgaria has become the first in the EU to have a high-tech artificial intelligence in its own language, created by a state-funded scientific organisation. The next-generation AI designed to work in Bulgarian was unveiled last night by the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT)

The technology can be freely used and implemented in the system of any Bulgarian institution, company or organisation. 

"The new technology can be used to create learning content, for personalized learning, for research and to ease administrative work," explained Education Minister Prof. Galin Tsokov.

"Lawyers can also search for different cases in a sea of court decisions. The new model can also be asked different questions - about history, about culture," INSAIT's scientific director prof. Martin Vechev told the BNT. 

The scientist explained that one of the AI applications is as a chatbot. It will start working for the public from Saturday, 23 November.
