Russian President Putin announced at a meeting on artificial intelligence technology development held at the Kremlin on the 10th that a committee will be established to develop Russia's artificial intelligence development strategy and coordinate related actions. According to the Russian President's website, Putin stated at the meeting that artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and autonomous systems are fundamentally changing various aspects such as the economy, public relations, social field, education, healthcare, logistics, industry, defense, and security, and that related technologies are developing rapidly.
