🇷🇺 Putin argues that while machines may surpass humans in analytical ability, people retain an advantage machines cannot easily replicate: the ability to think outside the box.

He recalls the 1983 incident when the world came close to a U.S.-Soviet nuclear war.

Soviet Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov received an early-warning alert reporting five incoming American ICBMs. He recognized the alarm as a computer malfunction rather than a genuine attack.

“If instead of Colonel Petrov, there had been an artificial intelligence, everything could have turned out completely differently.”
