Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Samara and Sverdlovsk regions, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow regions, Tatarstan and Krasnoyarsk Territory have become leaders in the ranking of Russian regions' activity in the field of artificial intelligence. The study was based on an analysis of more than a million records, including scientific publications, vacancies, data from social networks and Internet queries.
The regions were evaluated according to four main criteria: the labor market, interest in AI, media activity and contribution to science.
For example, the interest index was calculated based on Internet queries, and scientific achievements were calculated based on publications from the Open Alex database, taking into account the level of inter-university cooperation and the number of universities.
The demand for specialists was assessed by the median salary, the number of vacancies and the speed of their closure. Data from the media and social networks that had undergone multi-stage filtering were used to analyze the presence in the information field.
The rating was created for a multifaceted assessment of the penetration of AI into the regions of Russia. The project should become a tool for further development of this area.
Vyacheslav Goiko, Director of the Institute of Big Data Analysis at TSU, emphasized that the study clearly demonstrates where AI specialists are needed, and also noted the importance of such projects for promoting technology throughout the country.
