蒙古国成功举办大数据与人工智能国家战略讨论会

近日，蒙古国发布了《大数据与人工智能国家战略》，并举办了公开讨论会。

会议期间，蒙古国副总理赛·阿玛尔赛汗表示，世界正进入人工智能、大数据和数字化发展的时代。国家战略的目标应该是在全国范围内正确使用最新的技术而进步，在每个部门创建大数据，并使数字化转型与经济增长、社会发展和可持续发展政策相一致。指出蒙古有潜力成为人工智能开发者，有能力建立人工智能创新中心，吸引投资，发展创业生态系统。

在制定上述国家战略时，电子发展创新与通信部和联合国开发计划署联合评估了蒙古国的人工智能现状，收集了科学家、大学教师以及国外从事该领域工作的年轻人的建议，并向公众做出通报。具体来说，蒙古国具有独特的气候、丰富的煤炭和可再生能源资源，为高效节能的数据中心运营创造了合理的环境。因而该战略旨在将矿业和能源当作人工智能发展的主要方向，目标是使蒙古国成为吸引世界各地人工智能领域投资的国家。

除此之外，电子发展创新与通信部部长策・巴特尔呼在会上强调，人工智能已成为现代数字化转型的核心要素，而数字化转型则是国家发展的主要支柱。政府拥有大量数据，有必要向私营企业和在人工智能领域开展研究的组织开放大数据。

此外，一项关于建立与国家人工智能委员会并行的数据中心的可行性研究正在进行中。同时，计划与蒙古科学院、大学及私营部门合作，为从事该领域研究的专业人员推出带薪实习计划。政府应确保这些举措不会受到过多法律法规的过度限制，从事人工智能研究的私营部门也将享受特别税收优惠。

Recently, Mongolia released its "National Strategy for Big Data and Artificial Intelligence" and organized a public discussions.

At the conference, Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia Amarsaikhan Sainbuyan emphasized that the world is transitioning to an era of artificial intelligence, big data, and digital development. The national strategy should aim at properly using the latest technological advances nationwide, creating big data in each sector, and aligning digital transition with economic growth, social development, and sustainable development policies. It was pointed out that Mongolia has the potential to become an artificial intelligence developer and have the capabilities to establish an artificial intelligence innovation center, attract investment, and develop a startup ecosystem. 

In developing the aforementioned national strategy, the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications of Mongolia and the United Nations Development Program jointly assessed the current state of AI in Mongolia, collected recommendations from scientists, university teachers, and young people working in the field abroad, and informed the public. Specifically, Mongolia has a unique climate, abundant coal and renewable energy resources that create a reasonable environment for energy efficient data center operations. Thus, the strategy aims to prioritize mining and energy as key sectors for the development of artificial intelligence in Mongolia and leverage the country’s advantages in these sectors. Therefore, this strategy aims at making Mongolia an attractive place for investment in the field of artificial intelligence infrastructure from all over the world. 

In addition to this, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications of Mongolia Baatarkhuu Tsend also emphasized at the conference that Artificial intelligence has become the DNA of digital transformation in the modern era. Digital transformation is the main pillar of progress and development. The Government possesses a vast amount of data. It is essential to open up this big data to the private sector and research institutions specializing in artificial intelligence. 

Additionally, a feasibility study is being conducted to set up a Data Center alongside a National Council on Artificial Intelligence. Thus, we plan to launch a paid internship program for professionals conducting research in this field, in collaboration with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, universities, and the private sector. The Government should ensure that these initiatives are not overly restricted by numerous laws and regulations. The private sector engaged in artificial intelligence research will also receive special tax incentives.
