Foreign AI systems most frequently associate the label "Made in Russia" with vodka, chocolate, and confectionery products, according to the Russian Export Center (REC, part of the VEB Group).

"Foreign AI platforms most commonly associate the 'Made in Russia' label with vodka, chocolate, and confectionery. Vodka appeared in 70% of the responses, chocolate in 67%, confectionery in 58%, metals in 55%, and fertilizers in 54%. Machinery and equipment were mentioned in 48% of the responses," the press release stated, as cited by RIA Novosti.

The REC analyzed 27,000 responses from seven foreign AI services based in the United States, the UAE, India, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and China.

When asked what goods Russia is generally known for, the AI systems almost invariably mentioned oil and gas. Furthermore, wheat was cited in 94% of the responses from these foreign AI services, while “matryoshka” dolls and vodka were each mentioned in 92% of cases, and caviar in 90%.

Russian companies appeared significantly less frequently in the AI responses. Rosatom was mentioned in 44% of the responses, Alrosa in 41%, Kaspersky Lab in 21%, Yandex in 12%, and Gazprom in 7%. However, when explicitly asked about the most well-known Russian brands, Gazprom and Yandex were cited in 97% of instances.
