Sberbank and Kandinsky developers will not be responsible for the result of the neural network

Developers should not be held responsible for the images that the neural network creates. In particular, drawings created by Kandinsky’s Sberbank algorithms that may violate Russian law. Such a position of Sberbank was indicated at a meeting of representatives of the bank with the prosecutor’s office, a source familiar with the discussion told Vedomosti. The same position is fixed in the user agreement on one of the sites where the Kandinsky algorithm is located, Vedomosti was convinced.

The meeting with the participation of bank employees was held in connection with the statement of the leader of the Just Russia – For Truth faction in the State Duma, Sergei Mironov. He considered that the images generated by Sberbank’s artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms form a “negative image of Russia.” At the end of April, he asked Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov to check the bank’s activities for compliance of the Kandinsky neural network content with the law.
