#New ai arms race starting up guys
naive void
"You cannot ban something - if we ban it then it will develop somewhere else and we will fall behind," Putin said of AI, though he said ethical questions should be resolved with reference to "traditional" Russian culture.
"Of course, the monopoly and domination of such systems, such alien systems is unacceptable and dangerous," he said.
"In all spheres of our life, humanity is beginning a new chapter of its existence," Putin said of AI, adding that Russia needed to up its game on AI both in ambitions and execution.
"In the very near future, as one of the first steps, a presidential decree will be signed and a new version of the national strategy for the development of artificial intelligence will be approved," Putin told the conference.
Putin said the new strategy would make significant changes, including "expanding fundamental and applied research in the field of generative artificial intelligence and large language models".
Russian researchers, he said, should be given better access to supercomputers - which he said needed to be boosted by orders of magnitude - while top level Russian scientific education about AI needed to be improved.
Russia, he said, would have to change laws, boost international cooperation, and ensure much more investment for the development of AI.
Putin hailed Sberbank (SBER.MM) and Yandex (YNDX.O) for developing their own generative AI and language models - which he said needed to be developed further and applied to sectors of the economy.
Gref is transforming Sberbank, once known as a staid former Soviet savings bank where people queued for hours to pay bills, overseeing investments in AI, cloud services, big data and smart devices. He told Putin in June that Sberbank was making around $3 billion annually from $1 billion in AI investments.

I'm not super confident about how concerning that is on the short term considering the now limited access that Russia has to both hardware and expertise. On the long term.. remains to be seen
