Cabinet Assigns Mintsifry Oversight of Large AI Models

The ministry will monitor their development, prepare proposals for legal regulation, provide methodological support to federal and local government bodies, and develop measures to encourage their development and adoption.

The resolution brings the regulation governing the ministry into line with Law No. 243-FZ on AI support, a spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Digital Development's press office said.

Industry representatives say the impact will depend on the specific support measures introduced and the rules governing access to computing resources and data. The resolution imposes no new requirements on businesses and does not launch a funding program. Instead, it formally assigns the ministry responsibility for monitoring the development of AI models, drafting regulatory proposals, providing guidance to government bodies, and developing incentives.
