What’s new? Russia’s Ministry of Interior believes that virtual reality systems carry risks of destructive influence on society. In this regard, the department proposes to adopt a law regulating their use, the TASS news agency reports.
What other statements have been made? According to Alexander Smirnov, a representative of the all-Russian Scientific Research Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a number of proposed media content consumption formats, including virtual and augmented reality systems, have an “increased risk of destructive information and psychological impact.”
To reduce these risks, Smirnov believes it is necessary to impose regulation in this area, as well as to impose content labeling in addition to age restrictions. Moreover, one of the measures proposed is to give legal status to volunteers who identify destructive content online.
In October, Interpol announced the launch of its own metaverse designed for law enforcement agencies from around the world. The organization also forms an Expert Group on metaverses. Interpol stressed that digital worlds can change almost every aspect of daily life, with huge implications for law enforcement.
In May, the UAE authorities called for the creation of international security standards in metaverses. The minister for AI said that virtual crimes such as “murdering” an avatar can harm the psyche of users.
