Order No. 435-r of March 6, 2026

The government has created a subcommittee on the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies. It will address emerging issues related to AI implementation in various sectors and coordinate the work of agencies, working with the unified headquarters—the Presidential Commission on the Development of Artificial Intelligence Technologies. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko has been appointed head of the subcommittee. The corresponding resolution has been signed.

Thus, a unified three-tier system of government cooperation for the development of artificial intelligence in Russia has been established. It encompasses the federal and regional levels of government, as well as law enforcement agencies. This structure synchronizes the work of government agencies on AI implementation and accelerates the resolution of tasks requiring interdepartmental cooperation.

At the helm of this system is a single headquarters—the Presidential Commission on Artificial Intelligence Development. It is headed by Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Maxim Oreshkin and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko. The commission determines the AI development strategy, key priorities, and coordinates work at the federal level.

The subcommittee, established at the government level, acts as an internal government headquarters: its functions are primarily operational and applied. Its responsibilities include coordinating the implementation of AI in the economy, social sphere, and public administration, coordinating the work of federal agencies, identifying priority areas for implementation, developing criteria for Russian AI models, developing plans for the development of AI data centers, and formulating specific government support measures for the industry.

At the regional level, similar interdepartmental headquarters are being established, led by senior officials from the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The regional headquarters' task is to coordinate AI implementation at the regional level, collect relevant proposals, and submit them to the federal level.

"Artificial intelligence is a dynamically developing technology. Its implementation requires rapid coordination and timely decision-making. A government-level subcommittee is taking on this task. We are breaking down the established goals into specific plans and activities. Specifically, we are working with federal ministries and agencies to address practical issues, such as setting implementation targets, developing industry support measures, developing data centers, and ensuring developers have access to data," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The government subcommittee included Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov, Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov, Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut, Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Minister of Energy Sergei Tsivilev, Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev, Governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Defense, the Federal Security Service of Russia, the Moscow government, and others.
