Russia’s first federal AI law is now in effect... and Moscow wants to export its vision of “sovereign AI” abroad. But what kind of sovereignty will its customers actually get? The DFRLab's @buziashvili.bsky.social examines Russia’s emerging AI strategy: bit.ly/4ydSTaF

Russia wants to sell ‘sovereign AI’ abroad. Here’s what it’s really selling.
Russia’s new AI law puts domestic models under state control. Moscow now wants to sell the same model abroad.

As Russia’s AI law takes effect today, I examine how Moscow is pitching technological independence built on foreign technology to governments that'd become dependent on Russia. By the law, AI can only be “sovereign” if it respects “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values” (yes, those ones).

When analyzing the Russo-Ukrainian war we should also look at the trajectory. Look at Ukraine's capabilities now and compare with one, two, three, four years ago. Then twist it around and you can imagine the capabilities in one, two, three, four years. Ukraine is on its way to become a great power.
