From the early decades of the 20th century, Slovenia's history has primed the nation to become an AI pioneer and has greatly accelerated global progress in artificial intelligence solutions. Not only that, but the entrepreneurial blood that courses through Slovenia, as well as the country's human-centric, society-oriented approach to the digital future, is what has prompted the nation to launch some of the world's most innovative technologies. It is not difficult to see why UNESCO decided to partner strategically into Slovenia's scientific and technological might––there is simply no other nation on Earth that is taking leaps in AI as big as those emanating from the beating heart of Ljubljana. Let Slovenia's IRCAI serve as a premier example of what countries everywhere ought to be doing in order to stay ahead in the digital world of tomorrow. If a mostly unknown nation of just two million strong is capable of positioning itself as an AI powerhouse, so too can other countries.
