I've become completely lazy and haven't posted anything all this time. I'm in a hurry to fix this piggishness on my part — at least partially. Partially because this is another self-praising post, since it's long been known: if you don't praise yourself, no one else will. But this week I'll release more useful content, I swear.

Last week was very energetic. On June 24, I performed in Veliky Novgorod at a large event "Artificial Intelligence Tools in University Management: Strategy and Tactics" at the Valdai Center. The audience was management teams from universities across the country, so in addition to my standard educational-entertainment program with blackjack and courtesans, I also talked about how AI can work for the benefit of science, which I already wrote about for my dear readers.

By the way, we launched a new cloud platform AI for Science from Sber, which combines various AI tools for automating and accelerating scientific research: a text editor with support for mathematical formulas for typesetting texts, literature review and source search in reliable databases, AI Researcher for assistance in information analysis, illustration generation, and much more. If you want to try it, you can submit an application here.

And already on June 25, losing my slippers, I rushed to Vologda, where I again "spoke" at an event from our team about artificial intelligence for business. I barely finished when I immediately ran to another big online event, where I talked about trends and how Sber sees the development of AI. I'll tell you about this in the following materials, so stay tuned.

Despite the fact that I spent more than two days on the road in total and was HORRIBLY exhausted, I consider the experience very cool. Thanks to this work, I've already been able to see Pskov, Veliky Novgorod, Velikiye Luki, Murmansk, Cherepovets, and Vologda — cities I would hardly have visited in ordinary life. And, of course, I was able to meet and become friends with the most incredible people, whom I would hardly have crossed paths with if not for these journeys.
