September 17, Fineko/abc.az. In an era of rapid development of artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics, people are required to maintain their ability to do work even without these technologies.

SOCAR president Rovshan Najaf said this during his speech at the Baku ID 2026 festival.

He stressed that the loss of traditional skills such as critical thinking and analytical perception can lead to irreversible consequences for humanity, as throughout history people have gradually lost many basic skills, relying on modern tools, such as stargazing or natural healing.
