Unlike the space program, which has been actively developing for several decades, the question of the formation of artificial intelligence in Russia began to be looked at relatively recently. In the near future, a specialized AI development center may appear in the country - a corresponding proposal has already been submitted to the government.

According to 4pda.ru,, the new structure will increase the effectiveness of activities within the framework of the national strategy for the implementation of AI until 2030, and will also allow cooperation with foreign experts in this field.

They plan to open the Russian center of artificial intelligence on the basis of Sberbank. It is expected that such an organization will help the government in regulating the problems of the industry, and will also be engaged in the implementation of AI in the corporate management of Sberbank and the development of the concept of a smart city in Moscow. The latter is designed to improve the quality of life in the capital: for example, eliminate traffic jams and systematize waste disposal.

According to experts, the emergence of an AI center will also help to form a unified base of developments of private IT companies and will contribute to the development of blockchain and Internet of things projects, the predicted number of devices in which will reach 40 billion by 2025. Nevertheless, the project requires preliminary study: the concept of a smart city can be skeptical of citizens, including due to the tracking system and face recognition.
