On the final day of SPIEF, a session titled "Tomorrow: Focus and tools of future scientists" was held.

Experts in the field of science discussed which research areas will become a priority and how the scientific infrastructure will develop. Olga Tarasova, a member of the Scientific Committee of the VYZOV Prize and co-author of NASHA LABA project, moderated the session.

Olga Tarasova explained what the discussion focused on:

"What kind of scientific future awaits us? Will artificial intelligence become the driving force behind scientific breakthroughs? How will the laboratory of the future look, and what has been done for the development of scientific instruments? These are some of the questions that we invited scientists and entrepreneurs to discuss at the youth event, the "Day of the Future" at SPIEF."

Pavlos Lagoudakis, the winner of the VYZOV Prize, drew attention to the potential of photon-based computing and the impact of AI on scientific research. He explained that photons can solve problems much faster than traditional technologies, and AI and machine learning can be applied in all fields of science because they can handle both complex and mundane tasks.

Nikita Marchenkov, Сhairman of Coordinating Council for Youth Affairs in the Scientific and Educational Spheres of the Presidential Council of the Russian Federation for Science and Education, also spoke about neural networks in his speech. He pointed out that their efficiency is significantly higher than that of traditional computing systems. This is due to the fact that we have learned to replicate the principles of nature - in this case, neural networks are similar to human thinking.

In conclusion, Olga Tarasova emphasized:

"We all agreed that human intelligence will prevail, and artificial intelligence and other tools will be widely used. The responsibility for our future lies with all of us."
