MOSCOW, July 8. /TASS/. State Duma Committee on Financial Markets Chairman Anatoly Aksakov believes legislation regulating artificial intelligence (AI) should be further refined, he wrote on his Telegram channel.

"The AI regulation law adopted today by the State Duma sets up a framework and lays the foundation for the development of these technologies. At the same time, AI legislation requires further refinement based on practical experience and the specific needs of different industries," the statement said.

Aksakov said the law should guarantee that labeling AI-generated content is free of charge whenever such labeling is required by law, in order to avoid unjustified increases in the cost of services for consumers. He also argued that, to strengthen public trust in AI and combat disinformation, content labeling should be voluntary and free.

The committee chairman also called for abandoning a rigid parameter threshold. "It would be appropriate to refine the criteria for defining AI models, including eliminating the minimum parameter threshold for large foundation models. Many specialized generative models currently have fewer than one billion parameters but are capable of performing fundamental tasks," he said.
