>Won't it upset Ukranians that want to use such a model to help write about the war when they find out Russian law applies to their country?

Unless there's been a major movement in the war since I last checked the news, Ukraine is not part of Russia.

What you're describing sounds like a single universal AI that looks up local laws and follows them blindly.

I think what's going to happen is that each country will train their own AI that aligns with their local laws and values. A US or European AI would have no problem criticizing the Russian government or writing pro-LGBT text. But it would be banned in Russia and Saudia Arabia, and they would have their own alternative.
