In 2024, authorities will begin testing an approach according to which companies will be able to count on budget subsidies only if they use artificial intelligence technologies in their work. The corresponding instruction was given by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
We are talking about companies whose revenues exceed 800 million rubles.
“On the instructions of the president, the use of artificial intelligence will be mandatory for all companies that plan to receive subsidies from the federal budget,” Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko said at the AI Journey conference, quoted by Kommersant.
According to Chernyshenko, by 2030, the introduction of artificial intelligence in various areas will add an additional 11.3 trillion rubles to the country’s GDP.
The new measures will first of all apply to companies in priority sectors for the Russian Federation.
The authorities also previously announced the “Digital Health Services” project, within which budget support is provided for the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in medicine.
According to Kommersant, today about 16% of medical institutions have already started integrating AI services into their systems.
However, not all examples can be considered successful; Earlier this week, Roszdravnadzor suspended the use of the Botkin.AI analysis system. The department considered that its use could “cause harm to health.”
