The office of the Russian Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova proposed to
create in Russian universities special course on artificial
intelligence. The aim of the course is training to counter
the threats of artificial intelligence within the discipline of
human rights protection.
Moreover, it is expected that the novelty will become part of the
training program not only for law students, where the protection of
human rights is one of the main disciplines. This special course is
also necessary for future technical specialists.
The press service of Moskalkova's office clarified that " the
course will be constantly adjusted, filled with new things in
accordance with technological development." An interesting fact is
that there is an express course on the philosophy of artificial
intelligence at Moscow State University.
It should be noted that during the BRICS summit on November 14,
Kirill Dmitriev, the head of The Russian Direct Investment Fund, a
member of THE BRICS business Council, said that an Alliance for the
development of artificial intelligence can be created within the
BRICS.
In addition, according to Alexander Bernstein, the head of the
neurosurgical Department of the Burdenko Center, artificial
intelligence from 2021 will help in the planning of complex
neurosurgical operations. Now artificial intelligence is already
used in the medical center to remove intracerebral tumors. In the
future, the scope is planned to expand.
Recall that on October 10, 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin
signed a decree on the development of artificial intelligence in
Russia. This decree approves the national strategy for the
development of artificial intelligence until 2030. The President
also spoke about the need for maximum support for startups in the
field of artificial intelligence and several times to increase the
volume and quality of training for programmers, mathematicians,
computer linguists and data processing specialists.
