Robots on Patrol: Russian Borders to be Guarded by Artificial Intelligence

In addition, the built-in artificial intelligence will be able to predict situations, producing ready-made proposals for the border protection. "The system is fully based on domestic policy decisions that ensure protection of information resources against data loss, hackers and other unauthorized interventions," the press service quoted the deputy director of OPK Sergei Skokov as saying. The developers also noted that the new system is intended not only to collect different types of information, but also contains elements of artificial intelligence which will allow for analysis and forecasting of the situation and work out proposals for the protection of borders, by calculating steps and routes that offenders may take, as well as the necessary measures to prevent malicious acts, including the assessment of possible risks. The state borders need protection due to ever rising threats. Since the beginning of this year in the Rostov region, more than 60 "wanted" persons were found and arrested.
