Russia is creating "sovereign" AI with a check for "traditional values" — CPD

Russia has begun developing a "sovereign" artificial intelligence system that is supposed to be "correct" and comply with the "traditional spiritual and moral values" defined by the state.

Now Russian artificial intelligence must be not only "its own," but also ideologically correct. Such a model could become the national one and fit conveniently into the so-called sovereign Russian internet, where the state determines which resources may be accessible to citizens and which may not
