Artificial Intelligence Technology Lessons to be Introduced in Schools of the Russian Federation

Lessons dedicated to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital security will appear in Russian schools. Following the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, a pilot project is launching in the Moscow region. The programs will be integrated into federal educational standards and will include practical tasks ranging from working with generative models to data analysis and machine learning.

Special attention will be paid to cybersecurity: students will be taught how to recognize scammers and phishing, avoid disclosing confidential information, and use online services safely. The classes will help teenagers develop basic skills to protect their data in the digital environment.

For the successful implementation of the program, teachers will undergo additional training, and schools will be provided with the necessary technical infrastructure. According to "Kaspersky Lab" data, a quarter of students over the age of 10 already use neural networks, but many of them have a low understanding of the risks of the digital world.
