Today, 20% of large Russian companies use generative artificial intelligence in their work. Of them, 12% have already been able to identify priority scenarios for the use of AI, another 27% are specifically experimenting with this technology. These data are shown in the study “Artificial intelligence in Russia – 2023: trends and prospects” by Yandex and the company Yakov and Partners.
During the study, technical directors of the largest Russian organizations in 15 key sectors of the economy were interviewed.
What AI products do Russian companies choose?
Solutions from the American developer OpenAI (GPT-4, GPT-3.5) are used by all surveyed companies that use generative AI technologies in their business tasks. 80% of them use YandexGPT in addition to OpenAI products. It is mainly used to work with texts.
Sberbank’s Kandinsky neural network is chosen by 40% of surveyed companies to work with images.
What problems can generative AI help companies solve?
66% of respondents implement AI services for marketing and sales. For customer service, 54% use solutions based on generative artificial intelligence, and for research and development, almost half of respondents (49%). A third of respondents (29%) use AI in IT.
Almost all companies surveyed (94%) indicated cost reductions due to the introduction of AI into business processes. Another third of companies in the consumer sector (media, banking, telecommunications, media, e-commerce) expect revenue growth thanks to process optimization through AI.
Outlook and forecasts
During the study, analysts came to the conclusion that by 2028 the economic potential of AI in Russia will be 22-36 billion rubles.
70% of this potential is concentrated in six key industries: transportation and logistics, retail, mining, banking, consumer goods and IT.
Experts believe that the effect obtained from incorporating AI into business processes by 2028 will reach 4.2 to 6.9 billion rubles. Of this figure, between 0.8 and 1.3 trillion rubles will depend on generative artificial intelligence.
As previously shown by Yota research, demand for artificial intelligence services from Russians tripled in 2023.
