Strategizing the Russian sphere of artificial intelligence: Towards the development of a monitoring methodology

Subject. The article explores organizational, managerial, and economic relations that arise when strategizing the development of artificial intelligence. Objectives. The purpose is to develop a methodology for strategic monitoring of the Russian artificial intelligence sector. Methods. The study rests on the theory of strategy and methodology of strategizing by V.L. Kvint, a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Artificial intelligence is considered as a breakthrough technology, i.e. an innovation embodied in the form of a technology or product that can significantly improve existing technologies and create new ones. It changes existing markets and shapes new ones, affecting the economy and society both on the national and global scale. Results. I formulated a theoretical justification and designed three methods that determine the basis of methodology for strategic monitoring of artificial intelligence development. The paper describes these methods, gives examples of their application in other studies with my participation. Conclusions. The proposed methodology forms the theoretical basis for monitoring the implementation of strategic documents in the field of innovation, which, in turn, contributes to effective development of the innovative economy of Russia.
