In Russia, Using AI at Work May Be Punishable

A lawyer explained that there is no single law on the use of AI at work in the country yet. However, companies can set their own rules: some allow and even require employees to use AI, while others prohibit it — with possible penalties up to dismissal.

In case of violation of internal rules, employers have the right to demand compensation for damages caused.

⚠️ Special attention should be paid to personal data: transferring it for AI processing can become not only an administrative but also a criminal offense. The lawyer advises using AI cautiously and strictly following the company's internal regulations.
