Plot National projects
In 2021, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education developed and implemented in Russian universities an educational module “Artificial Intelligence systems” for all specialties.
These works became possible thanks to the national project “Science and Universities”. Methodological recommendations for the introduction of disciplines on the study of artificial intelligence will expand the knowledge of all specialists in various industries in the field of new technologies, allowing them to solve more complex applied and research tasks. For example, graduates who have completed this course will be able to master the methods of setting tasks and processing the results of computer modeling, create mathematical and information models of the processes, phenomena and objects under study, plan the process of modeling and computational experiment, and much more.
The module can be used in the implementation of educational programs in all areas of training and specialties of all levels of higher education and additional professional programs. At the same time, the module will be supplemented with topics and sections, taking into account the level and professional orientation of a specific university program.
In the Year of Science and Technology, this module was also used to create a master’s program “Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies in Modern Politics” at the Faculty of Political Science of Lomonosov Moscow State University. With its help, students study the features of the use of artificial intelligence in international relations research and political analysis. Thanks to such knowledge, it will be possible to analyze huge amounts of significant information to improve the quality of decisions.
The program examines in detail the issues related to the political and legal regulation of artificial intelligence; the introduction of modern technologies based on artificial intelligence into the political process and much more.According to Alexander Samoilov,a student of the Master’s program at the moment, the need for such disciplines combining artificial intelligence and political science will allow us to qualitatively improve the level of trained personnel. In his opinion, a detailed study makes it clear that in the era of dynamically developing digital technologies, Russian political science must keep up with the times and modern trends, and this is due to the inclusion of artificial intelligence research in political science.
