Sberbank, Yandex, VK and a number of other companies have adopted the National Code of Ethics in the field of artificial intelligence.

The document was signed within the framework of the forum "Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: The Beginning of Trust". Companies and organizations that have adopted the code also include Rostelecom, MTS, Gazprom Neft, RDIF, Skoltech, and MIPT. By the end of the year, at least one hundred Russian companies in the field of AI will presumably join the code.

The Code will become a recommendatory document on ethics for all participants in the AI ​​market, including government, business, Russian and foreign developers. It establishes general ethical principles and standards of conduct that can guide participants in the field of artificial intelligence. Among the basic principles spelled out in the code are a human-centered approach to the development of technology and the safety of working with data.

The Russian code was created by the AI Alliance jointly with the Analytical Center under the Russian government and the Economic Development Ministry. Joining the code is voluntary.
