During his working visit, Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko got acquainted with the results of the implementation of artificial intelligence in various sectors of the economy, social life and public administration in the Novosibirsk Region. As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, local developments using artificial intelligence have a high potential for replication across the country.

Dmitry Grigorenko visited the Research Center for Artificial Intelligence of the Novosibirsk National Research State University, as well as the technopark of the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, where IT companies are working on the creation and implementation of promising AI solutions. The Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff noted that Novosibirsk is one of the centers for the development of information technology and artificial intelligence.

"Our goal is to develop high-quality AI solutions and implement them on a large scale. This is only possible if AI development brings tangible results and real benefits. Novosibirsk has created decent conditions for the development of artificial intelligence. It has a strong scientific base and a progressive startup community. Thanks to this, the development of artificial intelligence here is parallel to the implementation, and not in isolation from it. It is important that the region itself is interested in using its AI developments and implements them in local educational institutions, enterprises and even in the work of government agencies," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

One of the most important areas of implementation of artificial intelligence is public administration. In the Novosibirsk region, AI assistants are being implemented, which allow optimizing the work of civil servants. Thus, an AI expert in customer centricity helps process citizens' requests and prepare the most understandable and clear answers, an AI assistant in the electronic document management system – quickly find the necessary information, and an AI stenographer – generate meeting minutes. Services have already begun to be implemented in the work of regional and municipal authorities.

In addition, the region has implemented the Safe City video analytics system, which helps monitor public order and search for offenders. More than 2.6 thousand criminals were detained with the help of the system. Novosibirsk specialists also created and implemented an AI service for searching for missing children using city video cameras. In less than two months of the service's operation, six children were found with its help.

Since 2025, the Novosibirsk Region has been actively introducing AI technologies into healthcare: AI is used to interpret X-ray and CT scan data. Since the beginning of the year, the system has processed over 361 thousand images. AI is used as an assistant for analyzing medical data, but the final diagnosis remains with the specialist. In addition, Novosibirsk doctors use voice input technology based on a neural network. It reduces the likelihood of errors in medical documentation. Today, the technology has been implemented in 71 medical institutions in the region.

"The use of artificial intelligence is justified for specific tasks. We try to monitor all developments, but when we approach the stage of large-scale implementation, we look at the expected result – improved quality of services, fundamentally new services for our citizens or a reduction in our labor costs. If we see successful developments, we try to quickly repeat them, but at the same time we can develop our own solutions. As examples, I can cite the analysis of X-ray and computed tomography data, the Safe City video analytics system. In the field of voice analytics and speech generation, this is the well-known robot Nikolai, a voice keyboard for doctors, intelligent assistants for civil servants. All these solutions both improve the quality of services for citizens and seriously reduce labor costs for our colleagues," said Andrey Travnikov, Governor of the Novosibirsk Region.
