Russia Pushes Artificial Intelligence Ahead of Crypto Mining with Preferential Treatment

Russia is taking significant steps to promote the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the country, prioritizing its growth over crypto mining.

The government has introduced a bill that regulates AI, aiming to establish clear rules for developers and businesses. The legislation also seeks to limit risks associated with AI by introducing specific requirements for systems based on their impact on human life and society.

The new law defines AI as 'a set of technologies that can simulate human cognitive functions' and classifies models into three categories: sovereign, national, and trusted. It determines the rights and obligations of parties involved in the development and use of AI solutions and services.
