Russia: Bill amending Law on Information, Information Technologies, and the Protection of Information regarding mandatory labeling of video materials created using artificial intelligence technologies (Bill No. 1069302-8) introduced to State Duma

On 14 November 2025, the Bill amending the Law on Information, Information Technologies, and the Protection of Information to introduce mandatory labelling of video materials created using artificial intelligence technologies (Bill No. 1069302-8) was introduced to the State Duma. The Bill proposes a mandatory labelling regime for synthetic video materials that are fully or partially created, modified, or processed using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Under the draft, owners of social networks, video-hosting platforms, and other online information systems would be required to label AI-generated content using both a visible textual designation and a machine-readable metadata tag. The visible label, such as “created using artificial intelligence” or “generated by AI,” would have to be displayed in a prominent position for the entire duration of video playback. In addition, the machine-readable tag would need to be retained when the file is copied or downloaded and include specified information on the use of AI technologies and the owner of the relevant resource. Failure to comply with these labelling requirements would give rise to administrative liability
