The creators of the Russian neural network 'Kandinsky 2.1' from 'Sberbank' rewrote some fragments of the neural network's functioning after a visit to the prosecutor's office. The reason was the dissatisfaction with some image generations of the service among the deputies of the State Duma.
This story became known from the words of the bank's head, German Gref. At the 'Finopolis' forum, he told journalists about what exactly the people's representatives were dissatisfied with.
Our model tried to improve it while generating the Russian flag. It drew some domes of the St. Basil's Cathedral on the flag. The deputies considered it a mockery of our national flag. We immediately stopped certain things - it no longer generates state symbols, it generates a previously specified picture.
President, Chairman of the Board of 'Sberbank' German Gref
Earlier in April 2023, the leader of the 'Fair Russia - For Truth' faction in the State Duma, Sergey Mironov, appealed to the Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, asking him to check 'Sber' and its neural network for compliance with Russian legislation.
