In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s Artificial Intelligence sector has suffered greatly, bringing into question its very future. The Russian AI sector had, before the war, made progress on civilian and military AI. Now it faces a sharp loss of talent and investment, as large tech firms are leaving Russia, and crippling sanctions, especially on advanced hardware.
