The key facts

Anzor Muzaev: banning AI in educational institutions is impossible; it should be learned to be used as an assistant
A number of countries are moving from tests to oral exams to make it harder to use AI
Putin previously stated that Russia has all the conditions for AI development — strong mathematical schools and energy

Muzaev: banning AI in schools will not work

Fighting the use of artificial intelligence in educational institutions is pointless — this was stated by the head of Rosobrnadzor, Anzor Muzaev, reports Life.ru. According to him, the technology cannot be banned in any case, so the school's task is to teach children to use AI not as a replacement for independent work, but as an assistant and a tool.

The experience with computers and oral exams

Muzaev recalled that the appearance of computers in educational institutions also caused skepticism: some feared that new technologies would lower the quality of education, but these predictions did not come true. He also noted that a number of countries are already moving from tests to oral exams — this format makes it harder to use AI when taking exams. In the view of the head of the agency, this problem is being tackled worldwide, but Russia should be among the first to find an effective approach.

Context: statements on AI development in Russia

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin statedthat Russia has all the necessary conditions for the development of artificial intelligence technologies. Among the country's main advantages, he highlighted strong mathematical schools and a developed energy sector.
