AI in Russia: Content Labeling and Developer Obligations

Russia's Ministry of Digital Development (Mintsifry) has published a draft law regulating AI. The document proposes mandatory labeling of content created by neural networks, so users can tell where it came from. At the same time, developers would be required to block the generation of illegal material, monitor the risk of discrimination, and bear responsibility for breaking the established rules. If the initiative is adopted, the requirements would affect both the models themselves and the way AI material is published on services and in the media.
