MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the digital ruble will help consolidate Russia's technological leadership, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia Vladimir Chistyukhin believes.

"As for issues of working with artificial intelligence and the digital ruble, I believe that all these technologies will allow us to further consolidate our technological leadership, or at least keep the situation that we have today - not lagging behind," Chistyukhin said.

In May 2024, the Bank of Russia reported that it would develop soft regulatory tools to minimize the risks of using artificial intelligence in the financial market.
