The result of this project was to be a completely new state information system in a secure design using artificial intelligence, and most importantly, the groundwork in this work would make it possible to approach machine-readable law and harmonize federal and local legislation with minimal costs.
As the source said, the price for performing work on the project was approved and passed down to the Russian Federal Security Service “from above.” The financial support for the event from 2019 to 2024 amounted to 186 million rubles and was approved by the passport of the federal project of the national program.
Due to bureaucratic delays, the project started almost two years late, and the contractor was a federal state unitary enterprise subordinate to the Federal Security Service of Russia, specializing in this type of work.
The management of the Federal Security Service of Russia reported on the work done, screenings were held at the Russian-Belarusian Forum, the X International Legal Forum and other venues.
However, the result of carrying out work under the state contract was the violent arrest of 6 people: an officer of the Federal Security Service of Russia (chairman of the acceptance committee), management and all leading specialists of the subordinate Federal State Unitary Enterprise, as well as the complete collapse of the research potential of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise. In total, the criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud) was initiated against 8 people.
Further work was stopped for an obvious reason: no one wants to get involved and continue the second part of the project, which, by the will of the investigation, has become extremely toxic. According to defenders, the funds allocated from the budget for the first stage were not wasted, and the work should be continued.
As the source said, meanwhile, pressure on all participants and their relatives has been going on for more than a year and a half. The property of all the accused and their relatives was seized in an amount three times greater than the amount of the entire contract, including taxes that were paid to the budget. The performers of the work have been under arrest all this time. The purpose of the pressure is to extract confessions, which so far none of the “defendants” have given, since the work was completed and no money was stolen.
Not long ago, two more people were added to the list of accused: Stanislav Lakhtin and Maxim Aleksandrov, whose role in this story is even more questionable in terms of their complicity in any crime. However, this did not prevent the investigator from filing a petition for their arrest in absentia more than a year and a half after the start of the criminal investigation.
I would especially like to note the initiation at the end of the preliminary investigation, which lasted about a year, of another episode: the alleged multi-year embezzlement of funds of the subordinate Federal State Unitary Enterprise by 6 defendants in the amount of 240 thousand rubles, which was investigated by investigators for particularly important cases of the Central Office of the Investigative Committee of Russia in a few days. But here the result of the work is also available.
What do we have today? Goals and objectives in the field of artificial intelligence are ignored, and professionals in their field and specialists are located in places that are not so remote. The technology is not used, implemented or developed. The technical requirements that were ordered to be approved by the Russian FSO have remained undeveloped for more than two years.
The creation of artificial intelligence for the Kremlin ended in arrests
