“Is the Russian economy ready, are individual sectors, the social sphere, the state ready for the use of artificial intelligence? While absolutely not, this is the diagnosis that we see now. That is why we are now paying so much attention to this issue, ”RIA Novosti quoted Oreshkin as saying.

He recalled that Russian leader Vladimir Putin in October signed an AI development strategy until 2030, according to which it is necessary to create a foundation for the development of this technology in Russia and to ensure the transformation of various industries.

“This is what we will work on so that this qualitative leap from the point of view of labor productivity, from the point of view of the quality of life in our country takes place,” the minister said.

In June, Putin instructed the government to introduce a draft national development strategy for AI.

Urvan Parfentiev, a leading analyst at the Regional Public Center for Internet Technologies, in an interview with Nation News, assessed the prospects for the development of artificial intelligence.
