Russia to Test AI Models for Moral Values Compliance
Russia will begin testing AI models for compliance with 'traditional values'. Informative sources told 'Vedomosti' that artificial intelligence (AI) models from Russian IT companies will be checked for alignment with 'traditional spiritual and moral values'.
Consensus
- Russian IT companies can submit AI models to independent testing laboratories for evaluation.
- The evaluation checks compliance with Russian law and 'traditional spiritual and moral value'.
- The process is required to obtain national or sovereign AI model status.
- Obtaining national or sovereign status enables access to government support, projects, and state data systems.
- The procedure is not mandatory for all AI models on the market, only those seeking national or sovereign status.
- The government, through the Ministry of Digital Development, will define the procedure.
- The Ministry of Digital Development, FSB, and FSTEC are involved in preparing the regulatory documents.
- The list of traditional spiritual and moral values is already defined in Presidential Decree No. 809.
- Testing includes evaluating model responses and testing for bypassing internal restrictions.
- Testing will be conducted using benchmarks, provocation queries, and red teaming techniques.
- Multiple laboratories may conduct the testing, and they themselves must be approved by state authorities.
