Russian President Vladimir Putin provided new guidance on Russia’s direction in artificial intelligence (AI) at the November 2025 “Journey to the World of AI” conference in Moscow (President of Russia, November 19, 2025). The event highlighted Russia’s militaristic pivot in technology policy.
The state-owned banking giant Sberbank—whose technocratic-minded chairman, German Gref, has positioned himself as Russia’s corporate AI champion—hosted the conference. Putin said that “critical dependence on foreign AI systems is unacceptable,” framing artificial intelligence as a matter of “state, technological, and value-based sovereignty” (President of Russia, November 19, 2025). To enforce this, he ordered the creation of a central headquarters to direct the AI industry.
