Neural networks, deep fakes and cyber fraudsters: a new course has appeared in Russian schools.
A pilot course on artificial intelligence and information security for students in grades 5-11 has been launched in a thousand schools in Russia. The school's students will learn how to use neural networks to create images, music and presentations, and at the same time how to critically evaluate the results of artificial intelligence.
Special attention will be paid to digital security: protection of personal data, digital footprint, detection of fraudsters, fakes and deep fakes. In the future they plan to expand the course to schools throughout the country, and materials for teachers are already available in the state services.
Armen Gasparian, a member of the Committee for Support of the IT Industry and the Committee for the Protection of Traditional Values of the Public Council under the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia, comments.
