History of the Association AI-Science Systems

The Beginning of the Association's Formation

The beginning of the association can be traced back to 2016 when Ruslan Pinchuk and Zakhar Maizelis met, with Zakhar later becoming his academic advisor. Over time, they became comrades and research partners, working on quantum artificial intelligence.

"During the period 2015–2019, I was fortunate to conduct research alongside individuals of outstanding intellect—thinkers whose impeccable logic and ability to discern patterns in the most complex concepts broadened my view of science and laid the foundation for my research approach.
My interest in artificial intelligence became a natural continuation of my desire to unravel the nature of consciousness. At that time, this field still seemed like science fiction, and neural networks were only beginning to demonstrate practical value. However, it was already clear to me: the future of humanity is inextricably linked with the creation of digital consciousness— the next stage in the evolution of intelligence.
Professor Zakhar Maizelis and I began joint research dedicated to modeling artificial intelligence for quantum systems, setting ambitious tasks: to investigate the principles governing the human brain, study the mechanisms of consciousness, and create an algorithm that not only learns but is capable of adapting by altering its own cognitive structure, much like a human does.
I often discussed in public debates and speeches a future where everyone would be able to create a digital 'child' with the ability to interact through visual interfaces and coexist in parallel, blended physical and digital worlds.
During our work, we involved specialists from other fields—biologists, neurobiologists, and programmers. We analyzed data from functional neuroimaging, modeled cognitive processes, and sought ways to merge ideas from quantum physics and information theory."– Ruslan Pinchuk

Formation of the Research Group and "Intelligent Science Systems"

Between 2016 and 2019, the research group developed both within the walls of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, at the Department of Theoretical Physics named after Academician I. M. Lifshitz, and beyond—in Ruslan Pinchuk’s educational initiatives as well as on partner commercial, scientific, and social platforms. The work was built on a constant exchange of ideas with scientists from related fields.

During this period, Zakhar Maizelis and Ruslan Pinchuk decided to create an organization that would unite efforts in a single direction. Thus, in 2019, Intelligent Science Systems emerged – the first iteration of the association, focused on research in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cognitive sciences.

However, soon the world faced global challenges: the COVID-19 pandemic slowed scientific and educational initiatives, and the subsequent war in Ukraine seriously affected the work of research groups. This period was a test not only for the association but for the entire scientific community. Despite the forced pauses, the activities of Intelligent Science Systems did not cease but adapted to the new conditions.

"After the high-profile release of OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model, I decided to expand our research from quantum AI to classical neural networks. In 2022–2024, each participant continued working independently—as many were scattered across different parts of the world due to military actions. But in 2024, after uniting in Zurich with young scientists, programmers, and researchers, we decided to continue the association’s activities. One of the key directions became the group of developers behind the Legacy AI project, which opened a new stage in the development of AI-Science Systems."– Ruslan Pinchuk

AI-Science Systems: A New Stage of Development

In 2024, building on the developments of Intelligent Science Systems, AI-Science Systems was founded—an international scientific research association registered in Zurich, Switzerland. This initiative became a natural continuation of years of research and development, uniting specialists from various fields around a single mission:

Today, AI-Science Systems is a platform that integrates fundamental research, innovative technologies, and educational initiatives to form a scientific foundation for the interaction between humans and artificial intelligence.

Main Areas of Activity:

• Scientific Department – Research in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cognitive sciences.
• Software Development Center – Development of intelligent digital ecosystems, including Legacy AI, a platform for preserving knowledge and cultural heritage using AI.
• Educational Hub – Lectures, educational programs, and science popularization initiatives.

One of the key areas of the association's work has been the development of Legacy AI—a platform that transforms the approach to preserving intellectual and cultural heritage by employing cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies. This project is a logical continuation of research into cognitive processes, neural networks, and information structuring.

The first phase of the public presentation of Legacy AI is scheduled for 2025. We are preparing a demonstration of the platform's key concepts, prototypes, and prospective directions for its development.

"On behalf of AI-Science Systems and personally, I express my deep gratitude to all the people who have been involved in the work and ideas of our community over the past 9 years. My thanks also go to all the brilliant scientists with whom I have had the opportunity to work and learn, and a special thank you to the developers with whom we managed to initiate Legacy AI."– Ruslan Pinchuk
