ussia's future depends on its success in the field of artificial intelligence, Vladimir Putin said on November 24 at an international conference dedicated to this technology.
It should be implemented in cayman islands phone number list all industries, the president emphasized. To this end, he called for streamlining legislation and attracting young specialists with the help of benefits. As Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov told Izvestia, the artificial intelligence market is actively developing: in three years it has almost doubled. As for the sphere of international payments, according to the president, the country is subject to constant attacks, since the system itself is currently under the control of a "narrow club of states and financial groups." Against this background, the Russian leader called for the creation of a system independent of banks and third-party interference.
Vladimir Putin arrived at the Moscow World Trade Center (WTC) for Sberbank's Artificial Intelligence Journey conference almost straight off the plane. The head of state returned from Yerevan, where he had met with CSTO leaders the day before, only on the morning of November 24, as his press secretary Dmitry Peskov told journalists.
Guests and participants of the forum have already started discussing the fate of new technologies and artificial intelligence in Russia behind the scenes. According to the organizers, in two days the conference has received over 50 million views and brought together participants from more than 180 countries.
The main discussion began with a joke: Vladimir Putin drew attention to the distance between him and the participants in the hall. Due to the coronavirus, the Kremlin took security measures, including distancing and testing of all participants: journalists were required to take three PCR tests. "Somehow they seated you very far away. When we start something, take on something, they take it to extremes," Vladimir Putin said.

At the beginning of his speech, the president stated that Russia has made a leap forward in a number of areas of artificial intelligence, but somewhere it needs to "catch up". Thus, the country is already leading in the digitalization of public services, but it is worth paying attention to the development of domestic robotics and its use in work. The head of the Russian Federation outlined the tasks for the next decade: to massively introduce AI into all sectors of the economy, the social sphere and the public administration system. At the same time, it is first necessary to bring order to each of the areas: "after all, if you digitize chaos, you will get digital chaos," the president warned.
