“I am absolutely sure that artificial intelligence will never beshaping people,” said Acting Rector Andrei Loginov during the discussion about the use of modern technologies in the education process, which took place in “Sirius”.
On November 28, the participants of the program of the 4thCongress of Young Scholars participated in the session “Prohibit or not. New trends in the development of education”.
The participants noted that although modern technologies hadbeen created for the benefit of man and science, they harmed the education process, shortening the student’s academic path. Some participants are concerned about the ability of AI to cope with some individual tasks better than humans. Therewere also opinions that the fears were pointless, because the work of any computer was ultimately based on the data created by humans.
"Achilles will never be able to catch up with a tortoise, and artificial intelligence will never catch up with a person. A person with his images, ideas, search for untrodden paths in knowledge will always be ahead of artificial intelligence. I am absolutely sure that artificial intelligence will never be shaping people," said Acting Rector Andrei Loginov.
Dr. Loginov said that RSUH on Nikolskaya used to be a workshop where Ivan Fedorov had printed his first book. On the one hand, book printing united Russian society, and on the other, dozens of candles of knowledge burning in monasteries had gone out due to the lack of need to rewrite books.
There are areas in which the ban on the use of neural networks seems obvious. Dr. Pavlenko, Vice-Rector for Research at RSUH, was confident that the revision of historical sources using AI was an absolute falsification; the source must belong to the era being studied.
At the end of the panel discussion, an online vote was held and 92.6% believe that modern technologies do have a place in education and science and should be used.
It is obvious that the development of new technologies in education is an irreversible process; RSUH has already introduced “digital” specialties to almost one and a half thousand students: linguists, programmers and analysts of intelligent systems in the humanities, bachelors and masters of information security, applied computer science and mathematics.
