Leading Sber experts presented analytics on the use of artificial intelligence in the enterprise and key trends in GenAI transformation. In real cases, they demonstrated how AI tools can reduce costs, introduced participants to the GigaCowork platform (a Russian platform for AI agents for any corporate role) and analyzed specific steps to implement technologies.

We note the growing interest of Mari El business in AI solutions from Sber. Today, managers at all levels – from small production to large enterprises – perceive artificial intelligence not as an experiment, but as a working tool.
