DescriptionThe rapid adoption of lifelike AI avatars, which conduct initial interviews around the clock in place of HR specialists, has sparked a heated debate in the CIS. Labor unions and lawyers claim that discrimination against job candidates is on the rise due to glitches in neural network algorithms. The State Duma has already begun discussing the need to protect job seekers’ rights. The focus is on whether lawmakers will manage to officially register a draft amendment to the Russian Federation’s Labor Code—which would restrict the use of AI in hiring—by the end of this year.
ConditionsYes: if, during the period from September 2 to December 31, 2026, a bill amending the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is officially registered in the Legislative Support System (sozd.duma.gov.ru), that regulates or restricts the use of AI in candidate selection.
No: if, during the period from September 2 to December 31, 2026, no official bills restricting AI-based recruitment are submitted to the State Duma.
