Abstract: Technological innovations, which are increasingly being used in a wide variety of domestic economy sectors, are artificial intelligence. The study of the problems and prospects associated with its inclusion in the management of domestic agro-industrial complex sectors is all the more relevant, since, according to the unanimous opinion of experts, ensuring their sustainable development is possible only on the basis of the most advanced achievements of domestic and world science. The purpose of the study was to assess the prospects and identify the directions of development of the system of artificial intelligence in the Russian agro-industrial complex. In accordance with the goal, the method of expert survey was applied, during the preparation of which a sample set was formed from among the representatives of the expert community and the corresponding research tool – a questionnaire was developed. The results of the expert survey allow us to conclude that the potential of agricultural production in terms of the permeability of the innovation under study is quite low, possibly due to the traditional conservatism and certain patriarchal nature of the agricultural sectors. However, experts have identified technical, veterinary, and breeding work as areas where elements of artificial intelligence can be not only in demand but also have a significant impact. According to experts, the agricultural sector offers significant opportunities for the development of artificial intelligence, particularly in areas such as logistics (warehousing, cargo transportation, and order processing), processing industries, and human resources management, both in agricultural production and related sectors. The main obstacles to the full-scale deployment of artificial intelligence in the agricultural sector, according to experts, include inadequate infrastructure and an imperfect legal framework.
