A training program focused on applying artificial intelligence in public administration has launched in Russia’s Rostov region. More than 200 civil servants are expected to take part.

The curriculum is designed to build skills in working with big data, digital services, and analytical tools. The project is being implemented with support from the Ministry of Digital Development, Information Technologies and Communications of the Rostov Region and PAO KB Center-Invest Bank.

A Tool, Not a Replacement

Regional Digital Development Minister Alexey Kopytov emphasized that AI is intended to support, not replace, human decision-makers.

“Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for people, but прежде всего a tool that helps process large volumes of data more quickly, analyze information, and make decisions,” Kopytov said. “Civil servants need to meet a high professional standard, because the quality of their decisions directly affects the region’s social and economic development.”

Vasily Vysokov, chairman of the board of directors at Center-Invest Bank, highlighted the project’s practical focus.

“For Center-Invest Bank, artificial intelligence is not just a technology trend, but a working instrument that already helps us make precise decisions,” he said. “Today we have taken the first, but very important, step toward building a new management culture based on data and customer orientation.”

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to prepare a national plan for deploying artificial intelligence technologies across the economy, the social sphere, and the system of public administration.
