AI for Humanity

Alexander Krainov

Applied intelligence becoming part of life

Alexander Krainov’s career shows how artificial intelligence moves from a research laboratory into products used in everyday life. His work at Yandex has been connected with computer vision, experimental AI products and technologies that translate complex algorithms into understandable actions: search, navigation, recognition, recommendations and other forms of digital assistance.

Science

Ilya Sutskever

From deep-learning breakthroughs to the limits of intelligence

Ilya Sutskever belongs to the generation of researchers that turned deep learning from a promising direction into a foundation of modern AI infrastructure. His path runs from visual recognition and sequence learning to large language systems and then to the question of how increasingly capable intelligence can be directed toward human goals.

Science

Liang Wenfeng

Efficiency as an independent scientific strategy

Liang Wenfeng’s story is connected to DeepSeek, the research organization that made model efficiency, open technical materials and an independent engineering team part of the global conversation about AI. His significance for science lies in asking how far a strong research group can go when it seeks not only more computing, but more precise architectural and training choices.

THE MEANING

Not for technology. For the bridge.

AI is changing professions, culture, science and education. What matters more than the technology itself is how we use it: whether we connect people, clarify knowledge and create room for cooperation.

The award recognizes constructive contribution: connections between people and machines, ideas and action, cultures and the future.

«The future is born neither in a person nor in a machine alone — it is born between them.»
