Limassol, Cyprus. Freedom Finance hosted a fireside chat at its Limassol offices this week featuring Daniil Liberman alongside Freedom Holding CEO Timur Turlov, focusing on artificial intelligence, computing power and decentralisation.
Cyprus positioned in global technology debate
The event placed Cyprus within a discussion that has become increasingly influential worldwide, as governments, technology firms and investors address questions about who controls the infrastructure that powers modern AI. Freedom Finance said hosting the conversation locally reflected its ambition to position Cyprus within global technology and innovation debates.
Liberman outlines scientific background and early work
Liberman described a personal background rooted in science and technology, citing a family environment shaped by research, early computing and scientific inquiry. He said early projects combined advanced computing concepts with biology and genetics, and he referred to these experiences as formative in shaping his interest in complex systems.
Media and technology initiatives in Russia and move to the United States
Liberman said he was involved in media and technology initiatives in Russia during the Medvedev presidency, and that some projects were later shut down under tighter political controls. He described relocating to the United States, where he said his work expanded into the entertainment industry.
Entertainment technology and later Silicon Valley work
Liberman said his work included projects in Hollywood that merged software development with film production, including software his team developed that could turn a screenplay into a finished digital product within a week. He mentioned collaborations and interactions with well-known figures and creative teams, including references to Robert Downey Jr and creators associated with The Simpsons, while avoiding specifics. He said his career later took him to Silicon Valley, where he became involved in founding and scaling multiple technology businesses.
