Artificial intelligence has the potential to become one of the drivers of
economic growth of the EAEU member states. According to Alexey Vedev, Director
of the Macroeconomic Policy Department of the Eurasian Economic Commission, AI
technologies are already being actively used in industry, logistics, the
financial sector, and public services across the Union. However, the further
development of digital economies requires not only the adoption of innovations
but also coordinated rules governing their use. This is why the leaders of the
EAEU countries signed a joint statement on the responsible development of
artificial intelligence. In the coming years, AI technologies will largely
determine the competitiveness and growth rates of the economies of all member
states, the expert believes. According to Alexey Vedev, nearly half of GDP in
the countries is generated by the services sector, which is directly linked to
digitalization and the implementation of AI.
«Artificial intelligence and
digitalization can serve as engines of economic growth. The potential for GDP
growth is
expanding, making economic growth rates of 4–5% appear entirely achievable.
From this perspective, I believe this agenda is both appropriate and
well-founded. Moreover, the impact of digitalization and the implementation of
artificial intelligence is realized much more quickly. The timeframe is now
measured in months rather than years or decades, as was the case with other
factors,» noted Alexey Vedev, Director of the Macroeconomic Policy Department of
the Eurasian Economic Commission.
