MOSCOW: President Vladimir Putin is ordering Russia’s government and the country’s biggest bank, Sberbank, to build cooperation with China in artificial intelligence (AI).
Putin’s instructions were published on the Kremlin’s website on Wednesday, three weeks after he announced that Russia would team up with BRICS partners and other countries to develop AI.
He told the government and Sberbank, which is spearheading Russia’s AI efforts, to “ensure further co-operation with the People’s Republic of China in technological research and development in AI”.
Putin said on Dec 11 that a new AI Alliance Network would bring together specialists from BRICS countries. — Reuters
