ChatGPT Banned? Russian Banks Begin Restricting Employee Access to Popular AI Services

Russian banks are increasingly reviewing their internal policies regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence. Amid growing concerns over data security and regulatory compliance, a number of financial institutions have begun restricting access to ChatGPT and other public AI services on corporate devices.

According to industry sources, the primary concern is the potential leakage of sensitive information. Banks fear that employees may unintentionally upload confidential documents, customer information, or internal business data into external AI systems.

At the same time, many financial organizations are accelerating the development of their own proprietary AI platforms and internal digital assistants operating within secure environments. This approach allows companies to benefit from AI-powered productivity tools while maintaining full control over corporate data.

Industry experts note that this trend extends beyond the banking sector. Similar restrictions are being introduced across telecommunications, energy, and government organizations where information security requirements are particularly strict.

Despite the limitations, corporate interest in artificial intelligence continues to grow. Rather than abandoning AI, companies are increasingly moving toward controlled deployment strategies, relying on private AI models and enterprise-grade solutions.

Market observers believe that AI governance policies could soon become as standard in corporate environments as password management, cloud usage policies, and email security protocols.
