The meeting was attended by Presidential Aide and State Council Secretary Alexei Dyumin, Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko, Moscow Region Governor and Chairman of the State Council Commission on the Data Economy Andrei Vorobyov, Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev, federal and regional officials, and others.
The participants in the meeting discussed the development of a national plan for the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies, including the establishment of performance indicators to assess their application at both federal and regional levels.
In his opening remarks, Alexei Dyumin stated that the State Council Commission on the Data Economy, jointly with the Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media, has completed extensive work with regional authorities. This work included analysing indicators across all sectors and compiling the most effective regional AI practices. These practices should be adopted by other regions, while the national plan being developed for AI implementation must serve as a practical and genuinely effective instrument for achieving the objectives set by the head of state, Presidential Aide emphasised.
Dmitry Grigorenko spoke about the advancement of digital technologies in the country. He noted that by the end of 2025, the national IT sector had demonstrated strong growth, with revenue increasing by 14 percent, exceeding the global average. The export of Russian IT solutions has also continued to expand, growing by an average of 20 percent over the past year, which reflects both the high quality of domestic technological developments and their demand in international markets. Consistent work on adopting artificial intelligence has begun in key sectors of the economy. To support this process, performance targets have been established and are being monitored, while work is underway on the development of a national AI implementation plan.
Andrei Vorobyov emphasised that efficiency is the primary consideration in the deployment of artificial intelligence technologies, and noted that every project in the Moscow Region is thoroughly evaluated. According to him, AI solutions are introduced at the regional level only when they provide tangible benefits to citizens and contribute to budget savings.
