On May 27, the first “quiet” forum in Russia, “Vremya Tsifry,” concluded in Moscow. It was a space for practical dialogue where participants focused on applied cases, sharing experiences, and finding ready-to-implement solutions. Within the business program, experts presented real-world scenarios for using AI in various industries – from manufacturing and fintech to marketing and creative industries.
The forum concluded with the award ceremony for the laureates of the “AI-Olympus” award, which brought together leading companies and experts in artificial intelligence. By decision of the Expert Council, the laureates included companies and projects that demonstrated the greatest effectiveness and practical significance in implementing AI solutions, among them: Sber, MTS Link, Kaspersky Lab, Plati po Miru, HSE University online campus, Moscow Directorate of Transport Services, Platform OFD, BSS, State System of Digital Product Marking “Chestny Znak,” GC “Solar,” Alfa-Kurs, Pyaterochka Retail Chain, SELA, Apatit (FosAgro Group), CRT Group of Companies.
The achievements of these organizations clearly show that artificial intelligence is becoming a universal transformation tool – it changes business processes, accelerates decision-making, and opens up new opportunities for growth. Today, AI not only increases efficiency but also forms a new operational reality for companies in various industries. Changes are particularly noticeable in the fintech sector, where AI technologies are becoming an integral part of the product architecture.
“AI in fintech has ceased to be an embellishment – it is an infrastructure without which a modern payment product can no longer be built. Scoring, antifraud, and real-time customer support all run on machine models. Awards like “AI-Olympus—2026” help to understand who is actually implementing technologies and who is just talking about them,” comments Pavel Belov, Director of Development for the fintech solution “Plati po Miru,” expert of the Russian Union of Travel Industry, member of the RST startup committee, member of the joint committee on digitalization in tourism under the RST, member of the commission on AI implementation in tourism under the Government of the Russian Federation.
