🗣 Russian software firms should "focus on building products based on generative AI and cases that bring real financial effect" to successfully compete with AI developers from the US and China, who currently dominate the market, Russian expert Denis Filippov told Sputnik.
💬 "Significant opportunities lie in creating applied products based on open AI models—this is where Russian companies have a chance to quickly show results," Filippov stressed. "The AI transformation is now in full swing, meaning the integration of these technologies into business."
He argued it was vital for Russian companies to identify their unique niches—industries where they already have expertise, data and strong teams—and turn AI developments into real products and services.
💬 "Now, any company, regardless of size, can adapt open models to their own needs for free. Owning a proprietary LLM [Large Language Model] is no longer a strategic advantage," Filippov said. "The winner will be the one who can create the most convenient, transparent, and business-effective product—one that can truly generate profit."
