Problems and prospects of AI

Konstantin Gorbach, Director of the Department of Intelligent Applications at the company "Digit", spoke about the difficulties and prospects in the use of AI.

The expert explained what stages the development of AI solutions is divided into today:

• 2-3 weeks – setting the task;
• 1-3 months – motivation for the customer and approval of the project;

• 5-6 months – scaling;
• the result is a unified architecture and management.

Among the problems related to AI, the speaker highlighted the transformation of the labor market. He explained that technology will not take jobs, as the duties of robots and humans will be divided. Artificial intelligence will take responsibility for collecting information, analyzing data and interpreting results, and people will create motivation for companies and interact with customers.

Project financing

Alexey Dobrusin, founder of the Internet agency Gedocorp and a member of the Guild of Marketers, told the audience how to attract state funding for artificial intelligence projects.

He also recommended that projects receive support from national accelerators and state programs for the development of technologies. The main advice of the specialist is to follow the needs of the market and focus on the tasks that are relevant today.

Automation of business processes

"First, the entrepreneur's thinking and competitive business model, then technology," the expert is convinced.
