ArmInfo. Armenian universities are taking virtually no visible steps or implementing large-scale programs that would connect students and scientists with the computing technology cluster in Hrazdan. Analyst Tigran Dumikyan expressed this opinion on his Facebook page.
He noted that universities are not introducing new specialties that would prepare specialists to work with these facilities. Furthermore, according to the expert, there is no systematic cooperation between the state and the private sector.
"If Armenia doesn't utilize these facilities, it will certainly not be left without work, as it will be working for other foreign companies, which will benefit the economies of other countries. But Armenia shouldn't become a living room where foreigners come to do their calculations, while we remain merely as observers," Dumikyan said. Without taking practical steps, he said, Armenia will not be able to take advantage of the opportunities available and become an AI hub in the region.
