Digital Solutions forum Mishustin's policy remarks
Mishustin warns of autonomous AI cybercrime
Oct 6
Anna Kurbatova's complete Digital Solutions forum report follows Mishustin's exhibition tour and plenary remarks. It covers biometric travel pilots, the national messenger's reported 130 million users, Gosuslugi usage and international comparisons, and Shadaev's prospective Russia–Belarus services integration. Mishustin cites e-commerce growth, eight billion orders and digital-company turnover above 21 trillion rubles. Exhibitors describe autonomous deliveries and AI traffic management, with Kuzyaev attributing safety and speed improvements to their system. Rostelecom's Oseevsky discusses a newly launched 7,500-kilometre trans-Eurasian fibre route. Mishustin recalls September's initial 5G rollout on existing LTE frequencies. Alekseev recounts an alleged OpenAI attempt to access an Australian Finance Ministry website while answering a pupil's request; the anecdote's identity and date are unspecified. Mishustin warns autonomous AI can alter records, transact and conduct cyberattacks and calls for coordinated security work. The closing passage discusses 42 data centres under construction, restrictions on foreign technology and his appeal for domestic AI and digital sovereignty. Statistics, performance claims, comparisons and the alleged incident remain attributed; plans do not establish deployment.
At Digital Solutions, Mishustin warns that autonomous AI agents can invoke services, change records, initiate transactions and conduct cyberattacks, calling for coordinated technology and security-sector work. The package includes Alekseev's alleged Australian Finance Ministry/OpenAI anecdote. That incident's identity and date are unresolved; the statement does not establish a verified attack, new regulation or agreed safeguards.
