On a threshold of new digital break in gos-IT

The previous digital break in the state informatization happened 9-10 years ago when were created the portal of state services (EPGU), the system of interdepartmental interaction (SIEI), the system of identification and authentication (Unified identification and authentication system).

Since then 100 million Russians were registered in a Unified identification and authentication system and became users of EPGU by 2019. The portal centralized providing electronic services in different areas and allowed people to save time a great lot in a set of life situations.

In 2019 the lexicon of the experts who are engaged in the electronic government was enriched with new terms among which NDMS (national data management system), SSCP (state single cloud platform), ETA IC OIV (uniform technology architecture of information systems of executive authorities), superservices most loudly began to sound.

Nothing from listed yet not fully works, but something is already piloted under leadership of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.

Strategy of development for artificial intelligence

Understanding perspectives of development of artificial intelligence, in 2019 considerable forces were thrown. The president approved the strategy of AI prepared the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, SberbankGazprom Neft and RDIF, the federal project on its implementation which should contain specific actions for stimulation of science and developments in this area (as of December 26 it is not published) was developed.

The road map on AI was the most expensive in comparison with cards of development of other end-to-end technologies.

It is necessary to tell that by 2019 AI technologies already got into many information systems and IT products without any state efforts. At the same time, without large target investments in these technologies within the country Russia risks to become only the consumer of others developments, and the world market will be monopolized also as it happened to the software market at the end of XX – the beginning of the 21st century.
