The head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, informed the media of two new developments during the “Battle of Robots” championship: on the one hand, the department intends to expand the game championship program and add competitions between robots and artificial intelligence. next year and, on the other hand, the ministry will work on options to locate foreign game servers in Russia to support the president’s idea and try to take control (and ideally block) Western games that “promote very anti-state values.” “
“We have received the order from the president, now we will work on it,” the minister commented on the situation with the location of the TASS agency servers.
The initiator of the idea expressed by Vladimir Putin was the head of the International Boxing Association, Umar Kremlev: it was he who proposed to force developers to transfer all versions of games, including online variations, to the .ru zone. , literally and figuratively. (“All software and servers must be on the territory of the Russian Federation.”)
The Kremlin is responsible for the formulation “games that promote very anti-state values”: it claims that extra points are awarded for killing a Russian-speaking hero in Internet games.
Be that as it may, the country’s president agreed that American and Canadian manufacturers “make money on us in a negative way”, and Maksut Shadayev said that the Ministry of Digital Development will take all necessary measures to locate the servers and block the unwanted hit games.
At the same time, the department strives to maintain face and appear progressive, proactive and up-to-date. To this end, the ministry intends to allow the participation of participants with artificial intelligence in the “Battle of Robots” competition next year, although “ethical norms arise” (which, the head of the Ministry of Digital Development did not specify to RIA Novosti).
