Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, on Monday released a new artificial intelligence called GigaChat, which is supposed to challenge ChatGPT developed by OpenAI. Told about it Reuters.

Sberbank said that GigaChat is better able to converse in Russian than its competitors. The bank has invested large amounts of money in technological development to make the country less dependent on western technologies.

The export of technologies developed in the West to Russia has stopped due to the sanctions caused by the war in Ukraine. For example, the missiles used by Russia require chips developed in the West, which Russia does not have the opportunity to produce itself.

Russia is dependent on the import of technologies from third countries. Advanced technology has been brought to the country from, for example, China.

The largest owner of Sberbank is the Russian state.
