For the first time in Ukraine, the International virtual football tournament was held within the conference, 15 teams took part in this event (Ukraine: Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk; Russia: Moscow, Perm, Izhevsk). The participating teams were awarded diplomas, the champion teams - diplomas and cash prizes. About 250 scientists from Ukraine, Russia, the USA, Poland and China gathered in Katsivel. More than 200 reports were presented. The conference participants accepted the "Appeal" to the governments of Ukraine and Russia. The first three winners received high awards: they were awarded prizes by the president of Shakhtar football club Rinat Akhmetov.

The conference participants accepted the "Appeal" to the governments of Ukraine and Russia.

The scientific youth school "Intellectual works - 2002" was held during the conference .

Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Anatoly Kalyaev, one of the luminaries in this scientific field, a world-renowned scientist, said:
"Holding such conferences on artificial intelligence is a modern, important, and, I would say, unique phenomenon in some respects. These conferences are attracting more and more attention from the general scientific community. There is an effective, fruitful and productive work. I have had to attend many international conferences - in the United States, England, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and I can rightly say that our conferences "Artificial Intelligence" are just as good as similar foreign ones. Many of the reports presented here are worthy of any international forum."

Professor Anatoliy Ivanovych Shevchenko, speaking to young people, said: "Everyone has different strengths, purposes, and abilities to cope with difficulties. As for me, God helps me with everything I do in my life. You may interpret my words the way you want, but I feel that the help from above is real, material. I feel it with every fiber of my being."
