Digital transformation has become one of the key development areas in modern Russia, encompassing virtually all industries and social spheres. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko at the National Center "Russia." He spoke as part of the "100 Projects for the Future of Russia: Digital" program.
"We live in the era of the so-called fourth industrial revolution—a data and digital revolution that is changing literally everything: from economic processes to services, and also influencing people's attitudes toward work, everyday life, and how they interact with the world around them," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
He noted that the implementation of artificial intelligence-based programs is becoming a key trend, as AI eliminates routine tasks, operates without interruption, and effectively solves routine problems. In the public sector, the use of AI is also a key focus – now, a high-quality service is considered one that is not simply digitized but personalized. Artificial intelligence is also used in management: by processing large amounts of data, it predicts events with almost 100% accuracy. As an example, Dmitry Grigorenko explained that the Government is using AI in the national project management system. This helps predict task failures in advance, changing the management approach: instead of analyzing errors after the fact, artificial intelligence warns of risks with 96% accuracy, allowing for timely adjustments.
"Russia is one of the few countries with digital sovereignty. We have our own marketplaces, search engines, and artificial intelligence language models—two of them, in fact. We also have our own messenger, data centers, and much more. Every day, 10 million people order food delivery or taxis, and this has long been a part of our daily lives. Even 15 years ago, it was hard to imagine such a level of digital convenience," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
During the discussion, Dmitry Grigorenko discussed several key areas of digital transformation in Russia in detail. The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted Russia's successes in developing biometrics, noting that Russia is one of the world leaders in implementing this technology. He emphasized that Russia has created a state-owned biometric data storage system with multi-layered security, where information is divided into encrypted fragments.
In the area of telecommunications infrastructure, Dmitry Grigorenko reported on work being done to create a Russian low-orbit satellite system to provide broadband internet coverage throughout the country. In the context of robotics, he cited examples from logistics and warehousing, where robots demonstrate multiple improvements in efficiency compared to human labor. This includes the integration of artificial intelligence into robotics, which will significantly expand the functionality of automated systems.
A separate section of the presentation was devoted to unmanned technologies. According to Dmitry Grigorenko, they are fundamentally changing approaches to managing space and processes in industries such as agriculture, construction, and logistics. He emphasized the pressing need for personnel. However, the Deputy Prime Minister asserted that digitalization is not destroying professions, but rather transforming them, creating new opportunities for IT specialists.
Dmitry Grigorenko urged students to take a conscious approach to choosing a career in the IT field, as digital skills are becoming essential in virtually every modern profession.
"No matter how much we talk about digitalization—whether we praise it or criticize it—people are still at the center of everything. It's important to understand: digitalization is just a tool. And how it's used depends entirely on the individual. It's like any object—a teapot or a microscope—which can be used for hammering nails or for its intended purpose. It's the same with digital technologies, only their capabilities are far broader and their impact on quality of life is significantly greater than most other tools," Dmitry Grigorenko concluded.
The National Center "Russia" continues its series of thematic programs, "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects." These programs focus on tangible results in achieving national development goals in accordance with Decree No. 309 of the President of the Russian Federation. During the events, speakers and government officials discuss the steps being taken to achieve national development goals and the practical benefits they bring to ordinary people.
