Russia Regulates Domestic AI, Keeps Foreign Options Open

Russia has approved a bill to regulate and promote domestic artificial intelligence (AI) development. The legislation, designed to support local AI solutions, will not ban the use of other neural networks or the training of local models with foreign data.

The move is largely neutral for crypto but mildly positive for blockchain and tokenized AI projects. By clarifying regulatory intent without imposing data bans, the bill provides a clearer framework for these sectors to operate within.
