Exclusive: Moscow's vision for AI everywhere GovInsider

Officials in Moscow, like many other city governments, are discussing how artificial intelligence technologies can help the city do its work better. But the Russian capital has perhaps the most pervasive vision for AI in government yet. "We want AI to work everywhere," Moscow's Chief Information Officer, Artem Ermolaev, tells GovInsider. His team is already trialling AI to advise doctors in treating cancer patients; help residents find new homes; and assess applications for government services and support. "The Moscow vision of the future is when artificial intelligence is equal to humans – or sometimes, artificial intelligence is higher than the human," he says.
