Roskomandzor allocated 2.27 billion rubles for the implementation of artificial intelligence in the Internet traffic filtering system. The project is included in the department's digital transformation plan for the years 2026-2028. New algorithms are designed to be used to detect prohibited content and identify ways to bypass a block in the Russian section of the network.
The inclusion of AI in the control system means moving to a more complex analysis of internet connections. Moreover, the effectiveness of such mechanisms depends not only on the ability to find prohibited resources, but also on the accuracy of the classification of normal traffic. A filtering error can affect services that are not the target of the restrictions.
Experts point to the risk of false results and interruptions in the operation of VPNs and corporate information systems. Therefore, the budget of 2.27 billion rubles is actually directed not only to the strengthening of the blockade: its implementation will raise the question of the stability of legitimate connections passing through the same infrastructure.
