In Moscow hosted the inaugural meeting of the AI Alliance Network.
The work of the alliance was launched as part of the AI Journey international conference. It brought together sectoral AI associations from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Iran, China, Cuba, Morocco, Russia, Serbia, Chile, Ethiopia and the Republic of South Africa. Members of the AI Alliance Network discussed key aspects of AI development in their home countries and submitted proposals for future cooperation.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko welcomed the meeting participants. He discussed the main aspects of introducing AI technologies in Russia and invited the alliance’s representatives to take part in an international AI foresight session next year.
“As President of Russia Vladimir Putin said, Russia is inviting the alliance’s members to take part in an international foresight session in 2025 and to chart joint scientific priorities. During the event, we will discuss these priorities, as well as mechanisms for selecting and financing the most topical research projects. Russia plans to expand equitable international relations hinging on mutual respect in order to create a common infrastructure for trustworthy AI technologies. The alliance will help develop databases heeding distinctive cultural features of our states and their unique features. We are interested in AI products and AI agents that will spread our common values, expand the human potential and facilitate the prosperity of the BRICS countries,” Dmitry Chernyshenko said.
“We have gathered here today to open a new page in the history of cooperation between countries representing various continents and cultures. Our goal is to pool the efforts of the best experts, scientists and entrepreneurs for creating a safe, ethical and all-inclusive future. AI that should become its foundation is already changing our life for the better, facilitating sustained development and responding to contemporary global challenges. We believe that, by working together, we will be able to overcome any obstacles and build a world where technologies benefit the entire humankind. I am confident that the AI Alliance Network will become a reliable platform for collaboration, and that it will open up unique opportunities for joint technological development,” First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank and Chairman of the AI Alliance’s Supervisory Board Alexander Vedyakhin said.
Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry and Russia’s Sous-Sherpa in BRICS Pavel Knyazev and Senior Advisor on AI and Digital Transformation at the Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology Mehdi Snène also addressed the participants.
The meeting participants decided that the Russian AI Alliance would administer the new alliance’s Secretariat. Andrey Neznamov, who heads the Russian AI Alliance’s working group on international cooperation, was elected Secretary General of the AI Alliance Network.
