The prime minister stressed that the overall volume of the AI market in Russia reached almost 650 billion rubles in 2022, an increase of 18% compared to 2021.
"About 1,000 of Russian companies included in the list of innovative companies participate in this area," Mishustin emphasized, adding that the financial sector is leading when it comes to the use and development of AI.
