Roskomnadzor Funds Oculus AI to Combat Illegal Content
Russia's Roskomnadzor has allocated 57.7 million rubles to develop the Oculus AI system to detect and disclose illegal content online.

The Russian Federal Supervision Agency for Information Technology and Communications, also known as Roskomnadzor, has allocated 57.7 million rubles to its subsidiary GRFC for the development of the Oculus artificial intelligence system. This system will automatically search for illegal and prohibited products and content on the internet and disclose them to the public.


In a statement, Roskomnadzor announced that Oculus will be analyzing real-time data such as tags, URLs, images, videos, and chat communications to detect prohibited content. The aim of this system is to identify various forms of prohibited content including tobacco advertisements, minors using e-cigarettes or tobacco products, and sales of counterfeit products. Oculus is expected to be operational by December 12 of this year.
