Claude and ChatGPT Block for Russians After IPO

Experts predict a complete block of Claude and ChatGPT services for users in Russia. This decision may be taken by OpenAI and Anthropic immediately after their stock market listing.

Artificial intelligence is already restricted from access in the Russian Federation and China, but enforcement of these restrictions is currently not strict. This approach allows tech giants to maintain audience loyalty and retain customers in the market.

After the IPO, companies will face the task of reducing operating costs. As part of cost optimization, access policies will be tightened, leading to the disconnection of many users, including Russians.
