ASTANA, May 29. /TASS/. Russia is one of three countries developing sovereign artificial intelligence. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated, noting the crucial importance of maintaining sovereignty while developing high technology.
"These tools are used in industry, science, and education, and preserving sovereignty is crucial here. Russia is probably one of the few countries, I would even say one of three, that have a chance and are developing their own sovereign artificial intelligence. To do this, they need to have their own formula, their own databases," he told reporters.
According to Putin, some companies prefer to use an existing database and build on it, while others create their own from the ground up. He cited Sberbank as an example of such a company.
"This requires significant capital investment, but this is the very foundation of sovereignty. This is what allows us to utilize such developments in defense, security, and public administration. We are one of the few countries doing this," he stated.
Development in artificial intelligence (AI) requires enormous energy resources, Putin noted.
