Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting in the Kremlin where the key topic was linking artificial intelligence to the national defense circuit. The head of state demanded to ensure the creation of the most sovereign domestic products, emphasizing that the full cycle of development and training of fundamental models should proceed without regard to foreign algorithm libraries, the Kremlin press service reports.
The focus on a closed cycle is dictated by a technological leap: modern AI agents are already undergoing tests, imitating the cognitive behavior of a live interlocutor, and in the near future will take over the management of complex physical objects. In the defense sector, any dependence on foreign neural networks is regarded as a digital time bomb.
A special commission has been created to coordinate the breakthrough — a "headquarters" led by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko and Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Maxim Oreshkin.
The Cabinet has been instructed to form a national plan for the implementation of AI in all sectors, from logistics to public administration, with a strict schedule until 2030. Heads of departments were obliged to forget about formal replies and annually demonstrate real working solutions in "hardware" and software.
