Vucic: We must build infrastructure for greater AI use and change education system

NEW DELHI - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday in New Delhi, where he is attending the India AI Impact Summit 2026, that Serbia must build infrastructure for greater use of artificial intelligence (AI) and change its education system.

"Many young Indians came to our booth, and we explained to them what we have and what we are offering in our country. We must continue to build infrastructure because AI requires computers and computers require electricity, and we will have to deal with all those key issues, as well as develop data centres," Vucic told reporters after visiting the Serbia booth at the summit.

"We must deal with changes to the education system and set aside more funds for education," he noted.

"We will also have to deal with investing more in the parts of both the economy and education - and culture, if you will, as well as our army - where instances of AI will become particularly notable. At the France booth, you were able to see how decisions about what target needs to be hit are made 15 times faster compared to the conventional way of decision-making," Vucic said.
