Russian state institutions expand AI surveillance and parliamentary oversight, while a San Francisco trial sees Anthropic's Claude autonomously fire an employee.

Russian institutions are accelerating the deployment of artificial intelligence across law enforcement, public surveillance, and governance. The Investigative Committee announced the implementation of biometric software designed to analyze vast video archives and identify suspects. Meanwhile, Moscow continues operating approximately 300,000 facial-recognition cameras. Politically, the ruling United Russia party proposed forming a parliamentary committee dedicated to digital development and AI, amid reports of automated social media accounts distributing AI-generated campaign content.

In international developments, algorithmic workplace management reached a milestone during a San Francisco trial conducted by Andon Labs. Anthropic's Claude AI model autonomously dismissed a retail worker following repeated unexcused absences, highlighting expanding corporate automation.
