🧠 State Duma opposes mandatory labeling of AI-generated content
The State Duma has clarified its decision to reject mandatory labeling for all AI-generated content. Marina Kim, Deputy Chair of the Committee on Information Policy, noted that if 99% of online data eventually undergoes neural network processing, it would be more logical to label human-authored content instead.
Anton Gorelkin, a member of the State Duma, emphasized that mandatory labeling would effectively apply to “90% of the internet”—ranging from photo filters to autocomplete functions. Such a move would impose a massive burden on platforms without actually deterring fraudsters.
The focus remains on protecting children and the elderly, combating deepfakes, and safeguarding socially significant sectors such as news, medicine, finance, and law. Furthermore, the committee warned that excessive restrictions on data usage for model training would reduce efficiency and stifle technological progress.
Deputies agreed that labeling should not become a mere formality or a “universal solution.” They stressed that the presence of an AI tag does not absolve creators of responsibility for defamation or manipulation.
