The Government House is hosting Artificial Intelligence Week for the first time. The event, aimed at civil servants, includes an educational program and an interactive exhibition of domestic AI solutions. The main goal of AI Week is to introduce civil servants to the capabilities of AI technology and train them in the use of specific solutions they can already apply in practice. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, who oversees the implementation of artificial intelligence, participated in the opening ceremony.
"We've already begun using artificial intelligence in the Government Office. To this end, we launched an experiment and deployed a number of solutions for performing common tasks. The goal is to free specialists from routine tasks, such as preparing reports, so they can focus on core issues. It's important to understand: artificial intelligence doesn't write bills or make government decisions. It doesn't replace humans or compete with them. AI is merely a tool and assistant for civil servants. As part of AI Week, we're not only training civil servants to use AI in their work but also striving to change their attitudes toward the technology. Today, the ability to effectively use artificial intelligence is a new professional competency. There's nothing wrong with using modern tools that allow you to solve a problem in minutes instead of hours," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
The Government Executive Office is currently conducting an experiment to integrate artificial intelligence services into work processes. The experiment is testing solutions from leading Russian tech companies, Sber and Yandex. Three AI assistants are already available to pilot participants in an open environment: Alice AI and NeuroLawyer from Yandex, and GigaChat from Sber. Government employees are using them to solve common tasks such as preparing quick reports, spell checking, generating document summaries, and analyzing and comparing different versions of regulatory documents.
Additionally, as part of the experiment, work is underway to create an infrastructure for the operation of AI solutions. Specifically, an AI server has been installed directly at Government House. This will expand the possibilities for using artificial intelligence within the Government Office, for example, by integrating the technology into the electronic document management system.
As Dmitry Grigorenko noted, even more AI functions will soon be available to Government Executive Office staff. These include the creation of meeting minutes, document classification by topic, the creation of reports based on extensive materials, and smart search in knowledge bases. Thirteen AI services are in development by 2026, including those for analytics, email management, and compliance monitoring.
AI Week is a separate component of a larger effort to familiarize civil servants with the potential of using technology in public administration. The educational program includes lectures featuring practitioners (from Sber and Yandex). Simultaneously, an interactive exhibition of domestic AI solutions was held at the Government House. For example, as part of the exhibition, Sber showcased the capabilities of the GigaChat neural network, which can assist Government Office employees with daily routine tasks, such as compiling briefs and analyzing documents. Sber and its partners also demonstrated a set of tools for creating AI agents for civil servants, which assist in preparing meeting minutes and handling citizen requests.
"The technologies we're showcasing at AI Week in the Government share a clear idea: artificial intelligence should work for people and the country, not the other way around. We're creating solutions that are extremely useful right now for use in the highly responsible work of the Government Executive Office. These technologies make complex things simple and accessible and are helping with the digital transformation of the entire country. The GigaChat AI assistant, GigaChat Business, AI agents, data analysis, speech technologies, and other Sberbank developments bring tangible benefits to the state and its citizens. And these positive effects will only continue to grow," commented Andrey Belevtsev, Senior Vice President and Head of Technological Development at Sberbank.
At the exhibition, Yandex presented "NeuroLawyer," an AI assistant for legal professionals, as well as developments based on its own AI models, used in socially significant projects in healthcare, education, transportation, and the environment.
