Electronics manufacturers are raising concerns over a proposed AI regulation bill in Russia, warning of the risks posed by excessive requirements and potential technical restrictions. The Russian Association of Trading Companies and Manufacturers of Electrical Equipment and Computer Technology (RATEL) specifically fears that an overly broad definition of AI could unintentionally apply to nearly all modern devices, thereby degrading the user experience. Meanwhile, government officials maintain that the initiative is intended as a flexible framework and are open to refining the document to address specific industry needs.
