IRKUTSK, May 26. /TASS/. Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Alexander Bortnikov has urged his colleagues from CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) intelligence agencies to consider the reasons for Western countries’ interest in the accelerated implementation of digital innovations in strategic sectors of the CIS economy, communications systems, and public administration.
"I believe that, considering the nature of problems solved with the help of Western AI technology in the political dimension, it makes sense for us to think about the reasons for such a keen interest of Westerners in the accelerated implementation of their digital innovations in strategic sectors of CIS states’ economies, and especially in communication and public administration systems," he said at a meeting of the Council of Heads of CIS members’ Security Agencies and Special Services.
"The transparency of foreign neural network models intended for use in decision-making systems is not guaranteed, just as the reliability of fully digital mechanisms for operational management of the country in the event of a possible crisis is not guaranteed," Bortnikov noted.
He proposed exchanging views on this matter at the meeting in order to outline the prospects for practical cooperation.
