Comment: We need several references discussing this person in detail, and they need to be independent of the person. Of the three references, two cover the same information and give a short quote from Seferi, but do not discuss him. Possibly based on a press release. The third is based on information / direct quote from Seferi about the release of his book. Tacyarg (talk) 20:32, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
Suad Seferi (Macedonian: Суад Сефери) is a North Macedonian information technology professional, author, and educator from Skopje. He is the founder and president of AINOW Society (also known as "ВИ Сега"), which a 2025 Council of Europe report described as the first non-governmental organisation dedicated to artificial intelligence in North Macedonia.[1]
Prior to founding AINOW Society, Seferi worked as a cybersecurity analyst and head of the Informational Technologies Sector at the International Balkan University in Skopje.[2]
AINOW Society
[edit]In February 2025, Seferi founded AINOW Society ("ВИ Сега"), described by the Council of Europe as an organisation that "further contributes to raising public awareness and developing expertise on the responsible use of AI."[1] According to the report, the organisation's stated mission is to promote responsible and inclusive use of AI through education, research, and the advocacy of ethical standards.[1]
A 2025 Council of Europe report on artificial intelligence in North Macedonian media cited AINOW Society's publication Ethics and Bias in Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities for the Republic of North Macedonia and the Region as contributing to the national debate on ethical AI standards.[1] The report noted that the association "emphasise the key role that the media play in promoting fairness and transparency in AI usage by informing the public and encouraging critical reflection on its ethical dimensions."[1]
Career
[edit]Seferi has worked as an IT professional and educator for over two decades, with experience spanning cybersecurity and digital technology.[2] In 2024, he served as a trainer at a workshop on artificial intelligence in newsrooms organised by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and the Association of Journalists of Macedonia, where participants explored how AI can be integrated into journalism while maintaining ethical standards.[3]
Seferi has been cited as an expert on AI and journalism by the Independent Union of Journalists and Media Workers of Macedonia (SSNM) in a 2025 analysis on artificial intelligence and the future of the journalism profession.[4]
Between 2025 and 2026, Seferi took part in several public talks and training sessions on AI-related topics in North Macedonia and the wider region, including a book promotion and workshops at the University of Novi Pazar in Serbia,[5] a seminar organised by the Chamber of Commerce of North Macedonia,[6] a guest lecture at Gymnasium "Kočo Racin" in Veles,[7] and a presentation on AI literacy for teachers at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering (FINKI) in Skopje.[8]
