Chernyshenko outlines four principles for AI in Russian science and education

At Digital Innopolis Days, the deputy prime minister cited critical thinking, reduced educational inequality, reliable assessment and traditional values.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko outlined four principles for introducing artificial intelligence in science and education at a plenary session of Digital Innopolis Days. The forum’s October 8–9 program included a discussion of AI as a new infrastructure for knowledge.

Chernyshenko named preserving critical-thinking skills as the first principle. He said the risks of using AI must be addressed, including concerns about excessive dependence on technology.

The second principle, according to the deputy prime minister, is reducing educational inequality. He said technology could widen the gap between people who know how to use it and those who do not.

Chernyshenko added improving the reliability of assessment results and preserving traditional values as the third and fourth principles. He did not cite specific measures for implementing them.
