"TÜRKMENGEOLOGIÝA"

On a global scale today, artificial intelligence technologies are widely used in all systems, including in the fuel and energy sector of the economy. But what is the origin of artificial intelligence, what place does it occupy in the life of humanity today, what is its importance?!

Looking back at history, in the 1950s, when the work &quot;Computing Machinery and Intelligence&quot; by English mathematician Alan Turing was published, when American computer scientist John McCarthy first used the concept of &quot;artificial intelligence,&quot; this field began to develop. In the 1950s-1960s, the goal of the first research in artificial intelligence was to place human knowledge in computer programs through logic and symbolic concepts. The state of technical means and computing power of that period did not allow for rapid progress in this direction.

Since then, having gone through several stages of development, in the 21st century high technological achievements have been reached in the field of artificial intelligence. One of the most important achievements of artificial intelligence in recent years has been the emergence of &quot;Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT)&quot; models. These models, prepared based on large volumes of text data, have generated great interest throughout the world. GPT models possess the ability to create texts similar to those written by humans, edit them, and translate them into various languages.

Incidentally, it should be noted that in accordance with the Decree signed by our esteemed President at the Cabinet of Ministers meeting held on January 30, the &quot;State Program for the Development of the Digital Economy in Turkmenistan for 2026-2028&quot; was approved, as well as the Action Plan for its implementation. In the era of the Revival of the new epoch of the Powerful state, in order to ensure the fulfillment of tasks provided for in the &quot;Concept of Digital Economy Development in Turkmenistan for 2026-2028,&quot; to develop a high-tech, competitive digital economy through the widespread introduction of digital systems, in accordance with the signed document, ministries, sectoral departments, hakimliks of velayats, and the cities of Ashgabat and Arkadag were tasked with ensuring the implementation of the State Program.

&quot;The State Program for the Development of the Digital Economy in Turkmenistan for 2026-2028&quot; and the action plan for its implementation will contribute to the transition to a digital economy, the preparation of a national artificial intelligence strategy, the implementation and improvement of technologies related to artificial intelligence in industries, the training of specialists in this direction, and the continuous improvement of their professional level,&quot; states an article published in the newspaper &quot;T&uuml;rkmenistan.&quot;

As noted, artificial intelligence has now widely entered our lives, and we increasingly use this technology. It is widely implemented from modern smartphones to self-driving cars. Examples of this include such capabilities as searching for information on the internet, biometric facial recognition, or converting spoken words into text. At the center of such operations is artificial intelligence, and it, based on mathematics and algorithms, simplifies our work.

Artificial intelligence performs work requiring human intelligence through computers and software. Today, AI is capable of influencing all spheres of our lives. So, what are the advantages of studying and implementing artificial intelligence? It provides the opportunity to automate everyday tasks and direct time and resources toward more complex tasks. AI algorithms analyze large volumes of data faster and more accurately than people, increasing their efficiency. It also improves decision-making. Artificial intelligence, by analyzing data, identifies results and aspects that people do not pay attention to, that are not obvious.

Artificial intelligence is widely used in virtually various areas of the economy and industry. In healthcare, it is used to analyze images (MRI, X-ray) and detect diseases. In the financial system, AI helps make decisions in such tasks as analyzing the financial history of borrowers, providing loans, and determining interest rates. In commerce, artificial intelligence, based on data about your previous purchases and searches, recommends types that interest you. AI is often used when recommending products or services to customers. In production, artificial intelligence is used to improve products and identify errors. AI systems can find even small defects invisible to the human eye. In the transportation system, self-driving cars are being improved based on this modern technology. In customer service, chatbots based on artificial intelligence are used to answer questions and provide consultations. In security matters, AI is used for facial recognition and can identify people by photograph or video. In marketing, various advertisements are prepared using this technology. In the education system, it helps prepare educational materials according to students&#39; needs, evaluate, and provide consultations. When performing these and other tasks, artificial intelligence processes large volumes of data faster than people. Its ability to work without rest, without the need for health, and to perform tasks dangerous or difficult for people are also key advantages.

Artificial intelligence is a simulation of human intelligence operations through devices, computer systems, or programs. In other words, artificial intelligence is the reproduction of the human mind&#39;s ability to think, learn, and make decisions with the help of a computer. It is divided into three main types: analytical, human-inspired, and humanized artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence encompasses broad technological directions. Among them are machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. These technologies give artificial intelligence systems the ability to perform complex tasks, such as voice and facial recognition, with high accuracy.

In conclusion, artificial intelligence has achieved significant progress in various directions and has acquired the power capable of changing many aspects of our lives. Nevertheless, it cannot completely replace or surpass human intelligence. In fact, it was not created to replace our natural abilities, but to help and strengthen them. When the distinctive aspects of artificial intelligence and human intelligence are considered, their complementarity is a condition for development. At the current stage of artificial intelligence technology development, resolving ethical and practical issues related to their creation and use also stands as an important requirement.

Allamyrat Kuranov was born in 1960 in the town of Gumdag in the city of Balkanabat, Balkan velayat, into a working-class family. After graduating from secondary school with good grades, he decided to work in the oil and gas industry and in 1976-1980 successfully graduated from the oil technical school in the former Nebitdag (present-day Balkanabat) with a specialty in &quot;drilling of oil and gas wells&quot;. In 1980, he began his first career path as an assistant driller at the &laquo;K&ouml;rpeje&raquo; drilling works department of the &laquo;Nebitgazburawla&yacute;yş&raquo; trust of the State concern &quot;T&uuml;rkmennebit&quot;.

From 1984 to 1990, he studied at the evening department of the Moscow Oil and Gas Institute named after I.M. Gubkin in the city of Balkanabat, mastering the specialty &quot;operation and development of oil and gas fields&quot;. Subsequently, he worked as a driller, underground repair foreman, senior technologist at the &quot;Gumdagnebit&quot; oil and gas production department of the &quot;Nebitgaz&ccedil;ykaryş&quot; trust, senior foreman at the well workover department, deputy head of the Gumdag section, section head and chief technologist. Until the end of his days, he worked in leadership positions. In particular, he was head of the &quot;Gamyşlyja&quot; well workover department of the &quot;Nebigazd&uuml;&yacute;pliabatla&yacute;yş&quot; trust, head of the well workover department with electric submersible pump-compressor-turbine equipment, head of the &quot;Barsagelmez&quot; well workover department.

Allamyrat Kuranov was a dedicated worker who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work. He was an intelligent, reasonable, well-mannered person. He was friendly with people. He spoke proverbs that came down to us from our ancestors. As colleagues who worked for a long time with Allamyrat Kuranov in several places recall, one could learn much from him in matters of coordinating production work, effectiveness, and moral education. What he said later became a lesson in life. &quot;He always behaved simply, but when it came to work, he was demanding; in particularly difficult situations of production work, relying on his rich experience, he took risks and coped,&quot; said Magtymguly Bayramgulyev, who works as senior foreman for complex work at the &quot;Barsagelmez&quot; well workover department.

Among our people there is a wise saying: &quot;A canal flows where water once flowed.&quot; Allamyrat&#39;s son Nurmyrat Kuranov successfully completed his studies in the Republic of Belarus, became a specialist with higher education and now works as deputy chief accountant at the &laquo;K&ouml;rpeje&raquo; drilling works department of the &laquo;Nebitgazburawla&yacute;yş&raquo; trust of the State concern &quot;T&uuml;rkmennebit&quot;. He is making a worthy contribution to the prosperity of our country. Today, Allamyrat-aga is fondly remembered by relatives, fellow countrymen, and students.

Recently, the 48th International Circus Festival was held in Monte Carlo (Principality of Monaco). The event was attended as guests of honor by the leaders of the National Equestrian Games Group &ldquo;Galkynyş&rdquo; of the Akhal-Teke Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan and the State Circus of Turkmenistan. During a ceremony held within the framework of this major creative forum, delegates of our country were presented with international certificates of the World Circus Federation and the European Circus Association, awarded to the &ldquo;Galkynyş&rdquo; Group for its significant contribution to circus art. On the occasion of this remarkable event, a celebratory ceremony was organized in the city of Arkadag.

During the celebration, which unfolded on a modern bridge located at the intersection of Geoktepe and Akhan avenues, songs and melodies accompanied by dance performances were presented. Those gathered enthusiastically joined in the festivities in a joyful mood, reflecting the happy life of citizens in the modern era.

Notably, the event began at the very place from which, on January 27, the working visit of the National Leader of the Turkmen people to the city of Arkadag commenced. At that time, Hero-Arkadag emphasized the organization of celebrations in the new city on the occasion of festive events and significant dates, as well as ensuring the active participation of residents, including young people.

Participants gathered on Akhan Avenue, along which members of the &ldquo;Galkynyş&rdquo; Group rode in orderly ranks on magnificent horses and in a phaeton.

The graceful procession of the Group&rsquo;s members, who masterfully controlled their steeds, evoked a sense of pride among participants for the efforts of Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar to enhance the global fame of Akhal-Teke horses, as well as of breeders, trainers, and riders.

Then a festively decorated motorcade passed by: happy parents were taking their newborn home from the maternity hospital. This touching moment captured everyone&rsquo;s attention and filled hearts with great joy.

Next, participants watched a splendid wedding motorcade moving along the avenue, symbolizing the creation of a new family.

After that, those gathered headed toward the &ldquo;Ta&yacute;&ccedil;anak&rdquo; monument.

Along the route, participants viewed the new buildings under construction along the avenue and admired the beautiful views of the city of Arkadag, built on the initiative and with the direct support of the National Leader of the Turkmen people.

After some time, the participants reached the &ldquo;Ta&yacute;&ccedil;anak&rdquo; monument, from where members of the National Equestrian Games Group &ldquo;Galkynyş,&rdquo; riding horses and traveling in a phaeton, proceeded to the Gerogly State Equestrian Circus of the city of Arkadag.

The route of the riders, who began their procession from the &ldquo;Ta&yacute;&ccedil;anak&rdquo; monument along Akhal-Teke Atlary Avenue of the most advanced &ldquo;smart city&rdquo; in modern history, led to the &ldquo;Akhan&rdquo; monument, and from there along Akhan and Aba Annaev avenues to the square in front of the G&ouml;rogly State Equestrian Circus.

They were welcomed and seen off by students holding flags, as well as by happy residents of the new, magnificent city.

Throughout the procession held on the occasion of this significant event, musical and song performances resounded, enhancing the festive atmosphere.

&hellip;The participants of the equestrian procession arrived at the square in front of the Gerogly State Equestrian Circus, where they were warmly and joyfully greeted by those gathered.

Here, members of the National Equestrian Games Group &ldquo;Galkynyş&rdquo; were welcomed by honored elders, experienced horse breeders, and grey-haired mothers, who congratulated them on another achievement.

In honor of the celebration, performances by cultural figures and masters of the arts took place. Those present thoroughly enjoyed the inspired songs and melodies performed by creative ensembles.

Participants of the celebration viewed an exhibition organized in the circus foyer, featuring works of fine and decorative-applied art, carpet weaving, jewelry craftsmanship, as well as photographs revealing the magnificence of Akhal-Teke horses.

A special place was given to the remarkable works of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, dedicated to the swift steeds &mdash; &ldquo;Ahalteke bedewi &mdash; biziň bu&yacute;sanjymyz we ş&ouml;hratymyz&rdquo;, &ldquo;Gadamy batly bedew&rdquo;, &ldquo;Atda wepa-da bar, sapa-da&rdquo;.

Then, the main celebration unfolded in the auditorium of the G&ouml;rogly State Equestrian Circus of the city of Arkadag.

First, members of the &ldquo;Galkynyş&rdquo; Group were invited onto the stage. Then, the floor was given to participants of the event, who sincerely congratulated Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar on this remarkable occasion, once again confirming the international recognition of the Group&rsquo;s achievements.

During the celebration, the Artistic Director and Vice President of the International Circus Festival, Urs Pilz, addressed the audience via a digital communication system.

Urs Pilz warmly congratulated Hero-Arkadag and the President of Turkmenistan, as well as the entire Turkmen people, on the well-deserved international certificates and wished the members of the Group new achievements in the future.

&ldquo;Your Group, its riders, and horses truly became the highlight of our festival thanks to their impressive performances at the highest level. We will never forget their triumph, the unsurpassed mastery they demonstrated, and the dignified manner in which they represented their country, enhancing its prestige. It was a great honor for us to host you,&rdquo; he said.

As emphasized during the meeting, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan are consistently strengthening their strategic partnership, placing particular emphasis on the development of logistics cooperation between the international seaports of Turkmenbashi and Baku (Alat). In this context, special importance is attached to increasing cargo traffic across the Caspian Sea, developing the Middle Corridor, and expanding transport links between the two countries amid growing mutual trade.
