Russia plans to restrict foreign AI models, or turn to Chinese technology

Russia plans to restrict ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, but Chinese ones can be used

According to Russian media, Russia is now planning to restrict the use of foreign artificial intelligence models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

The Russian authorities stated the reason is "to protect citizens" from so-called subtle manipulation and discriminatory algorithms.

At the same time, online services with more than 500,000 daily active users will be forced to store Russian user data within Russia for a period of up to three years.

Russia also proposed to use and adapt Chinese artificial intelligence models Qwen and DeepSeek to replace Western products.
