Mishustin visits “Digital Solutions” forum, backs domestic AI and IT for industry
In short
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin viewed the “Digital Solutions” exhibition and was introduced to the future of “Gosuslugi”, “Max” and AI, TASS reported. He called on companies to more actively switch to domestic AI solutions and said the government will support IT solutions for heavy industry. At the forum plenary, CNews reported, he noted a project to build more than 7,000 km of fiber-optic lines in Arctic Yakutia.
Why it matters
The statements point to continued state support for domestic AI and IT adoption, particularly in heavy industry, and to federal attention on Arctic digital infrastructure. Because most documents are from official state outlets and CNews draws on a regional press center, the coverage presents the government's and regional authorities' positions without independent scrutiny.
