There are several scientific associations in the Russian Federation today that specialize in the study and development of AI. Among the largest are the Scientific Council for Artificial Intelligence Methodology, the Russian Association for Artificial Intelligence, and the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at St. Petersburg State University.
The Scientific Council on Artificial Intelligence Methodology was created by the Department of Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2005. It includes 8 RAS Academicians, 9 Corresponding Members of RAS, and also large scientists from academic institutes and large universities. Hundreds of seminars, scientific conferences, and symposiums are held by the Council. There are 12 regional branches in major scientific centers of the Russian Federation - St. Petersburg, Tver, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, and others. There are 8 sections, where theoretical seminars with the participation of major foreign scientists are held.
The Russian Association of Artificial Intelligence unites Russian and CIS scientists conducting research in the field of AI. The organization has existed since 1992. Each member of The Russian Association of Artificial Intelligence is an individual member of European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI). The association promotes the unification of experts in the field of AI, the creation of favorable conditions for research activities.
The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at SPBU was created in 2020 to organize research and development in the field of AI. Research teams conduct research in such areas of AI as neural networks, machine learning, and natural language understanding. AI workshops are also held to bring the scientific community together.
