Banking Chatbot Technology Enters Aerospace Development
Russia is exploring the use of artificial intelligence developed by its largest bank, Sberbank, to assist in designing future aircraft, including potentially its next generation of fighter jets. The initiative, involving Sberbank’s GigaChat AI system, is part of Russia’s efforts to overcome the challenges posed by Western sanctions that have restricted access to engineering software previously used by its aerospace industry. According to Defence Blog, Russia’s state-owned United Aircraft Corporation has begun testing this AI technology, which could allow for more efficient examination of design alternatives and reduction in development time. This development was reported by UNITED24 Media.
