In the Novosibirsk region, with the aim of the digital transformation of key sectors of the economy, social sphere and public administration, the State Budgetary Institution “The Centre for Digital Transformation” was created. This institution was previously called the ‘Centre for Navigation and Geoinformation Technologies’ but after expanding the range of tasks and areas of work the centre was renamed, VN.ru reports.
The institution has created a department of artificial intelligence technologies, which ensures the development and implementation of intelligent voice communication systems with residents of the region. In addition, the employees of the new institution are involved in the development of requirements for the “Intelligent Transport System” and work on automating tasks and setting up the logic programmes of the control and supervisory activity system.
