Mishustin spoke about stimulating demand for domestic AI

Procurement rules are being adapted to stimulate long-term demand for domestic AI, said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Mishustin noted the importance of a more active transition of companies to domestic solutions and explained that a transition period is provided so that enterprises have the opportunity to prepare for the implementation of models.

“And, of course, it must be used to create conditions for long-term demand for domestic artificial intelligence services. And for this purpose, procurement rules must be adapted, taking into account the status and quality of the models, the actual volumes of their use. And while maintaining, of course, competition between market participants,” the prime minister said at the plenary session of the Digital Solutions forum.”
