Putin predicts continued global conflicts, warns of AI-driven digital totalitarianism

Russian President Putin stated that global conflicts are likely to persist in the near term and warned that AI development could enable digital totalitarianism, while advocating for UN reform. The remarks signal Moscow's continued adversarial posture and its push to reshape international institutions, though they are rhetorical rather than a concrete policy shift. The warning on AI adds a new dimension to Russia's stance on technology governance.
