The Russian government will allocate 5.2 billion rubles in 2024. for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the country, reported Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at a strategic session of the Cabinet of Ministers dedicated to this topic.
“In total, 5 billion 200 million rubles are allocated for the development of artificial intelligence next year,” he said.
Mishustin said that the volume of the AI market last year, despite sanctions, grew by about 18% and reached 650 billion rubles. About 1,000 domestic companies operate in this area.
“Unlike many other countries, we produce world-class products. For example, he presented his neural networks “Yandex“Sber also launched such models,” he noted.
In general, the rate of implementation of AI in sectors of the Russian economy is about 20%, the leader remains the financial sector, where such technologies are already used by 95% of companies, the prime minister noted. By the end of the year, at least six more scientific organizations will also have to be identified that will receive grants from the state for research in the field of AI. In 2021, the first six such organizations have already received grants, the prime minister recalled.
At the beginning of September, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to provide support to research centers in the field of AI until 2030. The president instructed to pay special attention to “the need for them to conduct research on optimizing machine learning algorithms and computing processes, including those related to the development of large language models and technologies generative artificial intelligence.”
In the fall of 2022, the president, at the Sberbank Artificial Intelligence Journey conference dedicated to AI, said that now the significance of breakthroughs in the field of AI is colossal, and the rivalry between states is fierce.
