2024: Creation of a consortium
The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia (Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation) has created a consortium whose task will be to ensure information security in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). As it became known in August 2024, the new association will include about 10 leading companies and 5 higher educational institutions engaged in the development and research of AI technologies.
The consortium was created with the participation of the Academy of Cryptography, the Institute of System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISP RAS) and the National Coordination Center for Computer Incidents. The main goal of the consortium is to develop and implement secure technologies for working with various types of data, including impersonal personal data. The adoption of these technologies will take place using machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques.
Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Alexander Shoitov noted that in September 2024, about 10 more companies and 5 universities will join the consortium. Among the key tasks facing the new participants will be to increase the level of security of domestic software products and hardware and software systems (PAC) using trusted and secure AI technologies.
Today, for Russia, within the framework of work on artificial intelligence, issues of information security and reliability of technologies are especially relevant, "Shoitov emphasized. |
The consortium will also develop new methods and solutions that will be aimed at ensuring confidence in AI technologies and increasing their security using advanced cryptographic tools. Within the framework of the consortium, it is planned to create centers for the collective use of scientific and technological equipment, which will significantly strengthen the research and production capabilities of the participants.[1]
