Education
As part of the federal project "Artificial Intelligence", the study of AI in Russia is actively integrated into secondary, higher and additional education.
The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation in 2021 approved the Artificial Intelligence Systems module, which can be used in basic and additional educational programs. In 2022, the federal state educational standard was approved, which, within the framework of the subject "Informatics", provides for the formation of students' understanding of the possibilities and limitations of AI technologies in various fields.
In 2022, 3,240 people were enrolled in master's programs at 16 grant recipient universities and 79 partner universities implementing master's programs.
1,369 teachers at 17 leading universities improved their qualifications in 83 master's programs approved in 2021.
The second All-Russian Olympiad in AI was held among students in grades 8-11. In the period September 26-30, a qualifying stage was held with the participation of 13.6 thousand people from 83 subjects of the Russian Federation.
