At the AI Journey Science Day conference, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko summarized the results of the international AI foresight study, which was conducted at the request of the Russian President to study AI science.
"As our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin noted, we must have unique competencies for the full cycle of developing fundamental language models: from their creation and training to their adaptation to the needs of various industries. Our teams are already demonstrating high results in a wide range of AI fields," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that the first Russian AI foresight study was held last year. Ten promising areas of fundamental research were identified. In 2025, the discussion will be brought to the international level.
In 2025, the International AI Foresight was conducted in three stages: expert sessions, in-depth interviews, and the preparation of a final report.
"The work continued throughout the year, in close collaboration with AI research centers, academic institutions, and companies. Foresight sessions were held in Russia and abroad: in Morocco, the UAE, Serbia, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Indonesia, Armenia, and Cuba. This allowed us to calibrate our priorities, take into account the specificities of scientific schools, and build consensus on the objectives," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
He noted that 270 scientists are participating in the International AI Foresight, more than 150 of whom are international. All of them have a high h-index and at least two A* publications.
"The battle isn't over individual technologies, but over who will build their own ecosystem—their own 'operating system' for the future. Those who succeed will set the rules. Those who fail will become dependent on the decisions of others. We all understand this perfectly. Therefore, foresight and all our work are not about playing catch-up, but about shaping the contours of the future, based on a concrete scientific foundation shared by everyone who worked on it," said the Deputy Prime Minister.
The final report of the International AI Foresight was presented by researchers from Russia, China, India, Brazil, Vietnam, and Serbia at the plenary discussion of the "Journey into the World of AI" conference. The report is planned to be distributed to international partners and governments and submitted to the UN on behalf of the International AI Alliance.
The foresight activities were implemented by the International AI Alliance and the SAPFIR agency.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also welcomed the participants of the International AI Alliance meeting, which was attended by representatives of 28 Russian and international organizations.
"Last year, I attended the first meeting of the International AI Alliance, which brought together 17 industry associations from 14 countries. I see that the Alliance's representation is growing. Today, I am pleased to welcome the 11 countries that joined during the formal ceremony at the plenary session," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked everyone for their work and noted that the alliance serves as a center of gravity, uniting the strongest players in the AI field.
"AI Horizons has changed a global trend. It's not just a prediction. It's a statement: science knows no boundaries, and the future of AI must be shaped collaboratively—with respect for the diversity of knowledge, cultures, and values," said Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of Sberbank.
