Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko spoke at the plenary session of the Future Technologies Forum 2026 in Moscow.
The forum is supported by the Government and organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
The Deputy Prime Minister answered a question from the moderator, Dmitry Zauers, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Gazprombank.
"Just a year ago, here at the Future Technologies Forum, our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin spoke about how AI technologies are revolutionary in terms of change—at that time, this was true for chemistry and new materials. Now we can continue this trend, because these are significant changes for the bioeconomy," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.
He singled out energy efficiency as a problem that science should solve.
"We're counting on our fundamental science. While the focus right now is on rapid implementation, it's important to do both simultaneously. Thanks to our President, who launched an international foresight exercise in AI," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
Dmitry Chernyshenko reported that, at the direction of the head of state, an international foresight exercise—expert sessions involving scientists from 36 countries—was held in 2025. Ten areas of fundamental research and 201 research tasks were identified.
"Technology itself is changing rapidly. My appeal: pay attention to the 13 AI research centers supported by the government. The budget has allocated approximately 18 billion rubles for this from 2025 to the end of 2030. They are conducting fundamental and industry-specific research in artificial intelligence, which allows our country to maintain its leadership and be among the elite of those producing these technologies," he concluded.
