Russia’s human rights director claims AI is pro-Western
(MENAFN) Valery Fadeyev, the head of the Russian Human Rights Council, has raised concerns that foreign AI systems are promoting Western ideological narratives, potentially serving as powerful tools for propaganda and censorship. Speaking at a roundtable on AI threats, Fadeyev shared that his team had tested foreign neural networks on sensitive political issues like the breakup of Yugoslavia and the Ukraine conflict. He concluded that these AI systems could lead to an "ideological and informational catastrophe," as the responses were heavily influenced by Western perspectives.
Fadeyev argued that the content generated by foreign AI platforms largely reflects Western viewpoints and filters out non-Western ones, which, he said, violates Russia's constitutional right to free access to information. He pointed out that AI now has a stronger influence than traditional US-funded media outlets, such as Voice of America, which President Trump had previously defunded. Fadeyev warned that the West now wields AI as a significant ideological weapon.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasized the importance of developing domestic AI systems to enhance national security and governance, stressing that Western AI should not dominate the Russian market.
