Abstract
The research aims to identify the trends and prospects for developing a digital society under the influence of AI, using Russia as a case study. This empirical research is based on the practical experience of the world’s top 20 countries in AI development in 2020 and 2024, as reflected in the socio-economic statistics of these nations. As a result, the authors developed an econometric model of AI’s impact on the digital society in Russia and other leading AI countries. Drawing on this model, the primary conclusion is that the key specific conditions for the diffusion of AI, which, in turn, shape the development of a digital society in Russia, are the innovativeness of AI technologies, social adaptation to AI, and the accessibility and reliability of AI infrastructure. The scientific novelty and theoretical contribution of this research lie in clarifying the social consequences of modernizing economic systems based on AI. The comparative and trend analysis reveals that Russia’s AI exhibits high global competitiveness (with Russia ranking among the world leaders in overall terms and specific conditions for AI diffusion during 2020–2024), as well as favorable trends in AI (five-year trends indicating improvements in overall and specific conditions for AI diffusion), which encourage further development of the digital society in Russia. The research outlines the prospects for developing a digital society in Russia under the influence of AI through two alternative scenarios – one envisioning the evolution of the digital society in Russia and the other suggesting enhanced inclusiveness, thus highlighting the alternative nature of these digital society characteristics.
Keywords: Trends, Perspectives, Social progress, Digital society, Artificial intelligence (AI).
