Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak opened the business day of the international conference "Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence." Also participating in the opening ceremony was Alexander Vedyakhin, First Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank.
"The Russian economy is undergoing a period of transformation, searching for new growth opportunities. The President has approved ambitious national goals that affect all areas of life, including creating a comfortable environment, achieving sustainable economic development, and technological leadership, including digital transformation. New technologies in artificial intelligence are becoming the foundation for addressing these challenges, increasing the efficiency and innovation of the economy," emphasized Alexander Novak.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of implementing artificial intelligence to improve efficiency in public administration, the fuel and energy sector, industry, addressing the needs of small and medium-sized businesses, applying it to finance and transportation, and increasing labor productivity.
The government continues to actively support the development of AI technologies. Last year, the National Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence was updated, aiming to make Russia a global leader in the use and development of artificial intelligence.
Alexander Novak emphasized that, in addition to a strong scientific and technological base, energy supply is a critical factor in the development of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the challenge is to reliably supply data centers with sufficient energy.
"A fundamental technological transformation is underway today. Experts note that the gap between companies actively implementing artificial intelligence and those lagging behind will only widen. Those who quickly restructure their processes and implement the 'human plus artificial intelligence' model will win," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
On the sidelines of the conference, Alexander Novak also visited an exhibition showcasing cutting-edge domestic developments and solutions in the field of artificial intelligence.
