It was stated the following:

  1. The investigations and elaboration in the field of artificial intelligence, intelligent systems and computer technologies are actual and define, to a great extent, the main direction of modern world scientific progress.
  2. The wide experience and considerable volume of theoretical and applied researches are accumulated in Russian Federation, Ukraine, Georgia, and Bulgaria, there is a makeup of the competent scientists and specialists. Involving them at the scientific investigations one is possible to progress essentially ahead and to eliminate the lagging behind in the technological attitude from the other countries.
  3. One should pay attention to building of a new conceptual base of intelligent means, new generations of informational systems and robotics having engineering audition, vision, the possibilities of image recognition, wide physical possibilities of movements.
  4. It is necessary to perfect the terminological and conceptual device of scientific investigations, connected with building of artificial intelligence;
  5. Modern mathematical basis of investigations and the available theoretical workings allow to create in the near future the modern means of high-parallel computing structures that are better than the foreign analogies according to their parameters.
  6. The special attention should be paid to more intensive development of investigations and elaboration in the field of computer linguistics and computer technologies, connected with natural language dialogue of the man and machine within the framework of the International project "Computerization of natural languages".
RESOLUTION PART
The participants of the conference have made the decision:
  1. To go on doing researches in the field of informational computer equipment and technologies of the intelligent level and periodically within the framework of the mutual arrangements to exchange the reached experience and results of investigations at the conferences, workshops, seminars.
  2. To accept the conception of the artificial intelligence forming on the base of artificial consciousness creation.
  3. To take as working ones the following definitions:
    • Intelligence is an aggregate of universal procedures that allows to build the concrete algorithms of the solution of individual creative problems at the conscious level.
    • Intelligence is an algorithm of the problem solving formed by the consciousness.
    • "Artificial intelligence" is an algorithm of the problem solving formed by the artificial consciousness.
  4. To prolong the discussion within the framework of these definitions in Internet.
