The idea to create the malaysia whatsapp number database
laboratory arose at a design session on artificial intelligence that Sber held for the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in June 2023. The laboratory will become part of a network of AI centers engaged in the promotion and development of AI technologies. Today, with the support of Sber and its partners, such centers have already been opened in Vladivostok, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Tomsk.

"The emergence of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Yakutsk is another step towards large-scale digitalization of the country. AI transformation is currently taking place throughout Russia, and Sber is one of the drivers of this process, which helps develop the economy and improve the quality of life of people. The laboratory will deal with applied issues that are relevant specifically for Yakutia. I am confident that its work will help solve the region's pressing issues in the field of healthcare and safety, as well as find answers to climate challenges," commented German Gref, President and Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank.

"The creation of an artificial intelligence laboratory has applied goals. With the help of research within the project, issues requiring the processing of large volumes of data will be resolved. For example, within the framework of monitoring the state of permafrost for its preservation. Or in the field of health protection of Yakuts, in medicine. We also face the task of further digitalization of the economy, which is directly related to the active use of artificial intelligence. I am confident that the Laboratory will become an effective tool for this process, and with the help of our project partners, we will achieve significant success in this area," said Aisen Nikolaev, head of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).

"It is planned to create project teams, including both researchers and developers, and specialists from regional authorities and representatives of the real sector of the economy, who will formulate applied tasks. This will allow the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in certain sectors of the economy and regional authorities of Yakutia with the prospect of scaling to other regions of the Russian Federation. The creation of the laboratory is an important step in solving the problem of accelerated development of the republic," said Anatoly Nikolaev, Rector of NEFU.

According to the results of 2022, Yakutia became the leader in the volume of IT services exports in the Far East and entered the top ten subjects of the Russian Federation in terms of digital maturity. The republic has a unified innovation ecosystem, which includes the regional government, the Yakutia Technopark, the Yakutsk IT Park, the Yakutia venture company, the Innovation Development Fund of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the North-Eastern Federal University named after M.K. Ammosov and other organizations.
