Humanity is stepping into a new chapter of its existence by using artificial intelligence in spheres like science, education and healthcare, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday at an AI conference in Moscow, calling it an “obvious” development.
Speaking at the plenary session of the Artificial Intelligence Journey 2023 forum, the Russian leader noted that the new technology was increasingly making its way into all sectors of the country’s economy and social sphere.
As one example, Putin pointed to how AI was currently being used in the fuel and energy sector to significantly reduce the costs of well development and was solving complex problems of safe logistics along the Northern Sea Route.
The president said there was a “growing trust” among people for the “revolutionary technology.”
“Thank God, our citizens understand that AI makes everyday processes simpler and more convenient, improves the quality of management and mechanisms for providing public services,” he said.
Putin went on to note the rapid development of generative AI, capable of creating images and text, calling the advent of such technology an “outstanding achievement of the human mind.”
