To provide the industry with personnel, the Minister proposed to focus on supporting research centers: to increase the efficiency of budget expenditures on science; to encourage postgraduate students with scholarships; to attract the world's best scientists from abroad. "In order to balance supply and demand, we propose subsidizing the costs of implementing AI for businesses. And also to allocate grants for the refinement of vendors' standard solutions to meet the needs of specific industries. It is necessary to expand the use of AI in the public administration system," added Maxim Reshetnikov.

"We are already conducting bilateral negotiations with friendly countries of the EAEU, SCO, BRICS on promoting technologies," a representative of the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation clarified to a ComNews correspondent. The Ministry has not yet named specific countries.

Director of the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) Evgeny Burnaev commented on Maxim Reshetnikov's statement: "I fully agree with the definition of the main tasks of the ministry. This is really what needs to be strengthened in Russia now. As for the implementation of AI in various industries - in our country they are already being carried out at a good level, and in some areas, for example in the banking sector, even at the most advanced. But in terms of personnel, science - I mean both more fundamental and technological developments - there are problems. This area really should be strengthened. There are also problems with computing power."

Pavel Frolov, founder and producer of the developer and manufacturer of robotic EdTech kits "ROBBO" (OOO "ROBBO Technologies"), believes that the most important task is to provide personnel. "An acute shortage of personnel prevents the industry from actively moving forward. In particular, popularizing the teaching of robotics to children and young people can help solve this problem," says Pavel Frolov. "The more widespread this phenomenon becomes, the more representatives of the younger generation will already understand the basics of circuit design, microelectronics, and be able to program at a basic level by the time they enter university. As a result, the number of students capable of becoming highly qualified specialists in the field of AI will increase significantly."

At a strategic session at the Russian Government Coordination Center, Mikhail Mishustin named another important area - the development of scientific institutions involved in AI technologies. There are more than 60 of them in the country. But in 2021, the state selected six centers based at universities and scientific organizations - HSE, ITMO, Skoltech, Innopolis University, RAS, MIPT and allocated them more than 5 billion rubles for research. In 2023, the government will select at least six more organizations that will receive budget grants for the implementation of in-demand projects for priority sectors of the economy.

Evgeny Burnaev told about the projects Skoltech is working on and shared statistics on completed orders: "With the help of AI, we most often solve problems of monitoring and remote sensing, analyzing multimodal data in real time, analyzing the modeling of physical and economic risks, as well as optimizing solutions in industrial tasks, industrial production and design. By the end of 2022, we completed orders for industrial tasks worth over 180 million rubles, and by the end of 2023, we expect that the total volume of orders from industrial partners will exceed 200 million rubles."
