Energy system based on the use of renewable resources of the World Ocean

Energy largely determines the level of development of any society. Energy development is conditioned by the needs of the economy and the desire to improve the quality of life in the face of a steady increase in the population of the Earth. At the same time, it is the energy sector that is mainly responsible for the negative changes in the planet's ecosystem. Comparison of the amount of energy currently produced by mankind with the magnitude of the energy flows characteristic of natural phenomena shows that the power of both energy sources become commensurate. In recent years, the understanding has become undeniable that the more energy is produced by burning fossil fuels, the higher the price has to be paid for maintaining the conditions in the environment necessary for a healthy and fulfilling life. The intensive use of fuel-burning technologies in the energy sector is accompanied by pollution, the greenhouse effect and climate warming, leading to irreversible degradation of the Earth's biosphere. It is clear that it is most reasonable to solve energy problems in close connection with environmental ones by using environmentally friendly energy production technologies based on renewable energy resources. In many regions and countries, these problems can be largely solved by using the wave and water resources of the World Ocean. Sea waves capable of developing the highest specific power for renewable sources are a very promising energy carrier. The wave power of the World Ocean, available for utilization, is estimated at about 5 terawatts, which can double the production of electricity on the planet. The use of hydrogen as an environmentally safe source and energy storage is also a very urgent task, because. hydrogen can replace any type of fuel in various industries, energy and transport. The complex, consisting of the Wave Power Plant, a plant for the electrolysis production of Hydrogen and Oxygen from sea water, energy storage devices and consumers, is an environmentally safe energy industrial system. In fact, the functioning of such a system links the processes occurring in nature into a single cycle with the processes of production and economic use of energy without disturbing the natural energy balance. Our project is dedicated to the creation of components of an environmentally friendly energy system based on the use of renewable energy resources of the World Ocean, consisting of a highly efficient installation for converting the energy of sea waves into electricity and a plant for the electrolysis production of hydrogen from sea water.

Anti-GPT - Intelligent selfscribe (AGIS)

The public release of ChatGPT class neural networks is used to facilitate the implementation of reporting research activities. In the vast majority of cases, this threatens and devalues ​​the quality of the produced research documents, especially in the areas of analytical activities and secondary/higher/post-higher education. It is a recognized fact that neural networks can be used en masse for unkind purposes, falsification of diploma theses (Russia, 2023). In Israel, over three weeks, more than 10% of the content (hundreds of thousands of documents) were identified that included text from AI (the methodology is not disclosed, more like hype). Unauthorized large-scale use of auto-generation of text by neural networks to imitate an individualized creative product is rendered meaningless by the need for deep immersion in the coherence of the text. Based on this, IT tools should be aimed at developing human intellectual competence and productivity, as a confirmed personalized intellectual activity. The intelligent platform "Anti-GPT - Intelligent selfscribe" (AGIS) is proposed, ensuring the harmonious and natural development of human expert activity in his independent creation and writing of research and analytical documents. Novelty - work in the paradigm of a single cognitive system "man - machine". When writing a text, the system automates and removes 80% of routine manual operations of an organizational and technical plan. A person acquires an increase in awareness and depth of inclusion when understanding and writing a text, developing and bringing an ever-increasing degree of competencies and qualifications to a new level. Intellectual activity acquires an easy, accessible and effective format, massively scalable and ready for universal application, forms and increases the level of expert qualifications in people using it in a natural-intellectual way.

AI Demand Forecasting

In today’s fast-paced market, the ability to predict future sales accurately and swiftly is not just an advantage — it’s a necessity. These forecasts are the backbone of strategic planning and essential for effective business management. Traditionally, achieving high-quality forecasts required considering a maze of internal and external factors, leading to complex calculations and skyrocketing labour costs. AI.Demand Forecasting automates the forecasting process. Our solution implies developing a custom artificial intelligence model based on customer data and external sources. By harnessing the power of these insights, AI.Demand Forecasting not only enhances forecasting accuracy but also significantly reduces the costs associated with traditional methods. In unpredictable markets, many companies resort to overstocking, resulting in wasted resources and lost revenue.
