The average level of use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the economic and public administration sectors in Russia has increased by 1.5 times over the past two years, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin reported. According to him, digital solutions continue to be implemented in all spheres of life. Details on how AI helps solve problems in the federal sector are in the Izvestia article.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin spoke about the fact that artificial intelligence technologies have become more actively used in Russia during the plenary session of the Digital Almaty 2024 forum. "As for digital solutions, we continue to work on their implementation in all areas," the Prime Minister said. "Including those based on AI. Over the past two years, the average level of its use in the economic and public administration sectors has increased by 1.5 times."
As Konstantin Shulenin, an costa rica whatsapp number database expert on network threats at the company "Security Code," told Izvestia, artificial intelligence has become more frequently used in the Russian economy and public administration due to its broad capabilities. In particular, new AI models with improved accuracy and speed of information processing are constantly being created.
“In economics, AI can be used to predict market trends, optimize logistics and supply chain management, and automate accounting processes,” says the expert.
As for public administration, according to Konstantin Shulenin, AI helps automate bureaucratic processes, analyze public opinion, and monitor the social sphere. In addition, machine learning technologies can be used to optimize production processes, automate routine operations, and improve services to citizens of the country.
Chronology of development
Active development of AI-based technologies began in Russia several years ago — and today they receive grant support at the federal level. In 2021, the country launched the federal project "Artificial Intelligence", within the framework of which 24.6 billion rubles will be invested in AI over five years, recalled Maria Nikolaeva, Director of Marketing and PR-group of IT companies "Yuztech".
— The creation of six new research centers at the country's leading universities and research institutes has already been financed, — says Izvestia's interlocutor. — In addition, in September 2022, the National Center for AI Development under the Government of the Russian Federation began operating in Russia, whose tasks include selecting and supporting the most effective solutions in the field of artificial intelligence.
Then, in early February 2023, it became known that the Russian Ministry of Economic Development plans to restart a number of programs of the federal project "Artificial Intelligence" in 2024. Among other things, the selection of research centers for solving applied problems in the field of AI is planned as part of this restart.
And on February 1, 2024, a round table was held in the Federation Council dedicated to the digital transformation of public administration. Today, it is taking place in a wide variety of regions of the country - 83 of them have already approved their digital transformation strategies for most areas.
However, despite the active implementation of artificial intelligence in the sphere of public administration, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Digital Development Grigory Borisenko noted that decisions and responsibility will always lie with people, so government officials will not disappear. However, thanks to the large amount of digital information, the decisions they make will be well prepared.
— Today, AI is already being used in the fields of economics and public administration to analyze large volumes of data, automate decision-making processes, forecast economic indicators, monitor socio-economic processes, and improve the quality of public services, — notes Konstantin Shulenin.
