Tech in Moscow #22 (1 - 7 February 2021)

Sberbank

Care Mentor AI service entered the SBERmed.AI digital ecosystem

The US-UK alliance on AI, the prospects for unmanned
vehicles in Russia, the focus on road safety and other topics - ICT.Moscow has collected
the most significant topics of September about artificial intelligence from
<a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai">@ict_moscow_ai</a> telegram feed in one digest.

<hr />
<h2>
 New Alliance in AI<a class="ce-block__copy-anchor-btn"></a>
</h2>

 
 At the end of September, the United States and the United
Kingdom <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-britain-ai/u-s-uk-sign-agreement-on-artificial-intelligence-idUKKCN26G33H">signed</a> a declaration on cooperation in artificial intelligence. According
to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.state.gov/declaration-of-the-united-states-of-america-and-the-united-kingdom-of-great-britain-and-northern-ireland-on-cooperation-in-artificial-intelligence-research-and-development-a-shared-vision-for-driving/">declaration</a>, cooperation involves the joint development of the
economy and healthcare, improving the quality of life of citizens, joint
development and research in artificial intelligence and the creation of a technology ecosystem that will stimulate innovation
by integrating AI into the economy.

 
 ICT.Moscow <a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/news/global-ai-experts-on-country-cooperation-in-artificial-intelligence/">asked</a> AI experts what could change for the industry, including the Russian
segment, after the declaration was signed. Executives and managers of AI companies have a rather positive view of the declaration: such alliances stimulate research
and promote development, which has a positive impact on the market. The authors of the
Russian Concept for the Regulation of AI and Robotics note that this is not the first document of such kind, and Russia should also
engage in similar cross-country partnerships.

 
 According to <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1112">preliminary data</a> of the poll in the telegram-feed, more than one third of the respondents believe
that the signing of the declaration between the United States and the
United Kingdom will not
affect the Russian IT industry. A quarter of the respondents think
there are barriers to
the sale of Russian developments in foreign markets, and even more than 15% believe that such an initiative can hinder
the development of the technology in general. Thus, industry representatives’
views of
the new initiative are
rather negative or
neutral.

<h2>
 Route for autonomous vehicles was built<a class="ce-block__copy-anchor-btn"></a>
</h2>

 
 Autonomous vehicles were notable in the AI ​​landscape in September.
At the beginning of September Yandex and Sberbank (now called “Sber”) came into the
spotlight. With a
difference of several hours both companies announced that their
autonomous vehicles
departments would be spun off into separate companies - <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1020">Yandex Self-Driving Group (SDG</a>)
and <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1021">Sber Automotive
Technologies.</a>

 
 In September, the topic of unmanned control systems for rail
transport was actively discussed. Trains with artificial intelligence are already being <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1008">tested</a>
by Russian Railways, and the Ministry of Transport is <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1056">looking for</a> a developer
of a standard computer vision system (according to the plan, the technology
will already be
ready in December this year). The Moscow Department for Transport has <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1071">announced</a> plans to test
unmanned trams (Yandex will be responsible for the development of the
technology), and to<a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1103"> use</a> unmanned vehicles as parkons, which will automatically
monitor compliance with parking rules in Moscow.

 
 Autonomous
vehicles segment
is also
being developed in other types of transport. At the
end of the month, several ministries and relevant departments<a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/news/an-experiment-on-the-operation-of-unmanned-vessels-on-rivers-and-seas-in-russia-will-start-in-october/"> approved</a> a draft decree of the Russian government on testing
autonomous sea vessels. And Gazprom Neft continues to introduce unmanned
technologies: the company’s unmanned helicopter was <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1073">tested</a> in the Arctic
for delivering cargo to oil fields.

<h2>
 Roads will become safer<a class="ce-block__copy-anchor-btn"></a>
</h2>

 
 Another piece of news about autonomous
vehicles is dedicated
to road safety control.
In the first half of September, the testing of an autonomous air monitoring system
for road safety was <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1040">launched</a>. Within six months, the drones will fly over the
M-4 Don highway under the control of the operator, and then the system
will operate
autonomously.

 
 Glonass-BDD <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1061">uses</a>&nbsp;computer vision technologies for other tasks,
in particular, for
digitizing Russian roads. By analyzing the data from the driving video recorders, the system evaluates various road
characteristics and makes recommendations for improving safety on specific road sections. So far, 3 thousand kilometers of Russian
roads have already been digitized.

<h2>
 Healthcare industry is confident in AI<a class="ce-block__copy-anchor-btn"></a>
</h2>

 
 Artificial intelligence in
the Russian healthcare is growing steadily. The number of
medical images analyzed in clinics in September <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1067">exceeded</a> 300 thousand. It took
less than two months, while the first 150 thousand images were processed within
three
months (from April to
July).

 
 Also, in early September, the first AI system for
analyzing medical images
from Celsus company was<a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1035"> included</a> in the register of domestic software. This
will allow the developer to implement the solution in government medical
institutions.

 
 Meanwhile, doctors are getting accustomed to using artificial intelligence in everyday
tasks. The STC group (Speech Technology Center), which analyzes the level of doctors’ trust in the system for filling out medical documents by
voice, claims
that there is
a significant <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1003">increase</a>
in this indicator. A month after the launch of the corresponding project in Moscow medical
institutions 40% of doctors
were skeptical about the technology, but after three months the
percentage of doctors who were skeptical decreased to 6%.

<h2>
 The AI ​landscape in Moscow is expanding<a class="ce-block__copy-anchor-btn"></a>
</h2>

 
 In addition to autonomous vehicles and healthcare, AI is being developed in other areas
in Moscow. For example,
in education: at the beginning of the month, students of the State University
of Management <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1019">tested</a> the Examus online exam control system, which analyzes the
student’s behavior in the video frame, can determine student absence, and is also able to
recognize voices of other people in the room.

 
 According to
the Moscow
Department for Transport
and Road Infrastructure, security cameras <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1007">installed</a> in metro cars will monitor the train load and transmit this
information to city mobile applications, so that users will
be able to choose less
crowded subway cars.

 
 Visa <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1014">launched</a> a voice payment service created on the Yandex.Dialogs platform in 32 restaurants and cafes of Moscow.
Its is intended to reduce contacts between visitors and waiters: using the
system, customers can contactlessly order food and drinks, pay for them and
leave a tip.

<h2>
 Watching the progress<a class="ce-block__copy-anchor-btn"></a>
</h2>

 
 In September, the stories about the success of Russian AI
developers and startup founders, including the stories
about the successful development abroad, appeared in the media. For example, MedTech-AI startup
Deep Longevity led by Russian developer and entrepreneur Alexander Zhavoronkov
<a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/news/deep-longevity-medtech-ai-startup-was-acquired-by-hong-kong-investment-company-regent-pacific/">joined</a>&nbsp;the Hong Kong corporation Regent Pacific just a few weeks after the
launch, the deal amounted to $3.79 million, and Oleg Stavitsky’s Berlin-based startup Endel <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1085">raised</a> $5 million from
investors.

 
 Moscow-based NtechLab also <a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/news/ntechlab-raised-over-13-million-for-the-development-of-its-product-line/">raised</a>&nbsp;$13 million&nbsp; from RDIF and
several foreign funds for future developments in the field of computer vision. The
developments
of the company are already
being used in the Moscow
city video surveillance system, and at the end of September it was
announced that they
would be <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1088">scaled</a> to 10 other cities, including Nizhny Novgorod.

 
 The government also
decided to support the
development of Russian AI startups. Mikhail Mishustin says that over the next four years, a
total of$92.2 million&nbsp; will be <a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/news/the-ministry-for-digital-development-communications-and-mass-media-will-allocate-92-2-million-for-grants-for-it-projects/">allocated</a> to 1200 startups.

 
 In terms of
wins in the
competitions, it is important to mention the <a target="_blank" href="https://ict.moscow/en/news/itmo-university-scientists-won-an-international-competition-to-create-ai-for-diagnosing-inflammatory-disorders/">first place</a> of the team from ITMO
University in two stages of international competition organized by PMI Science.
The scientists
have developed the most efficient AI system for diagnosing inflammatory disorders.

 
 In September the results of two Russian contests - “Best Russian Social Projects” and “Innovator of Moscow”
- were summarized. The <a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1072">winner</a>&nbsp;of the
first competition was Beorg Smart Vision platform, which is used for crowdsourcing in
corporations. Care Mentor AI, MONQ and SearchInform ProfileCenter were
<a target="_blank" href="https://t.me/ict_moscow_ai/1054">recognized</a> as the best innovators from Moscow in the field
of artificial intelligence.
