Armenia and the USA have signed a joint statement on cooperation in the field of information technology, with a special emphasis on the development of artificial intelligence. The document was signed by the Ambassador of Armenia to the USA, Narek Mkrtchyan, and the US Deputy Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, Jacob Helberg.

According to the statement, the partnership aims to create a sustainable and innovative artificial intelligence ecosystem that should contribute to economic growth, technological development, and enhanced economic security for both countries.

Three key areas of cooperation have been specifically identified. The first is related to creating a regulatory environment that supports innovation, investment, and testing of AI technologies, as well as scaling solutions in this area.

The second direction involves expanding cooperation in building future infrastructure – including energy resources, critical material supply chains, the development of the semiconductor industry, and the training of qualified specialists.

The third element will be the active involvement of the private sector, including venture investments, joint scientific developments, the creation of next-generation data centers, and expanding access to computing power for artificial intelligence.
