Russian Official Slams AI-Generated Video Shown in Schools as 'Botch Job'

Ekaterina Mizulina, head of Russia's 'League for a Safe Internet', publicly criticized an AI-generated video about Soviet spy Richard Sorge shown to schoolchildren during 'Important Conversations' lessons. The video is attributed to Metropolitan Tikhon, often called 'Putin's spiritual advisor'. This is a notable internal critique of state-aligned content quality, potentially signaling friction within pro-Kremlin circles over the use of AI in education.
