How to disable AI in Kaspersky Standard?

[meegja]

Today my Kaspersky Standard got an update and now it's full of pink AI tags?
Like so many people all around the world, I don't want or need any AI crap.
How can I disable it in my Kaspersky Standard? I simply refuse to get this crap forced down my throat.

What does the AI tag on a feature mean?

The AI tag indicates that this feature uses machine‑learning (ML) methods and intelligent data analysis. These technologies improve threat‑detection quality, enable more accurate recognition of new/unknown malicious objects, and reduce false positives.

Classification and detection technologies for malicious activity (e.g., based on object attributes and/or behavioral signals) operate as part of the standard protection mechanisms and complement other methods (signatures, heuristics, rules, reputation checks, etc.). Our AI‑powered features do not use your PC’s resources for external computations: the algorithms run only within the normal operation of the protection (scanning and monitoring).

 

 

Is this a new feature?

Intelligent‑analysis technologies have been used in cybersecurity for many years. We have now added an explicit AI label so that users can more easily see which components employ these methods. In other words, the approaches themselves are not new—the transparency of their labeling has changed.

 

 

Can it be turned off?

The AI tag is simply an indication of a technology that helps detect threats. It does not represent a separate operating mode or property of a particular feature. You can enable or disable individual features in the product, but disabling some of them may reduce the overall level of protection.
