Putin expects next 20 years to be even more difficult

"Experts point to the threats stemming from new regional conflicts, global epidemics, the complicated and controversial ethical aspects of interaction between humans and artificial intelligence, as well as to the way traditions and progress go together," the head of state noted

SOCHI, November 7. /TASS/. The current trends in international processes make it clear that the next 20 years will be even more difficult, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club’s annual meeting.

"The present-day world is certainly unpredictable," the head of state noted. "If we look back 20 years, assessing the scale of changes and projecting these changes onto the years to come, we will come to assume that the next 20 years will be even more difficult," he added. "How difficult they will be definitely depends on a large number of factors," the president said.

"Experts point to the threats stemming from new regional conflicts, global epidemics, the complicated and controversial ethical aspects of interaction between humans and artificial intelligence, as well as to the way traditions and progress go together," the head of state noted.
