The company Yandex has offered to use its proprietary voice assistant Alice in the provision of public services. About this informed the newspaper “Vedomosti”, citing three sources.
According to these sources, at a meeting of representatives of the IT industry with first Deputy head of the presidential administration Sergei Kiriyenko, the proposal received from the CEO of Yandex Elena Bunina.
At the moment no decisions on this matter have been taken. The participants have just discussed “Alice”. Voice assistant is now available to connect third-party services, including possible integration with government services.
In what form can be implemented, integration is also unclear. Perhaps Alice after connection to the public services will be able to record to a doctor or to obtain documents. It is also possible that Yandex will take part in the creation of devices with voice access to the state organizations.
