• Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Visits ITMO For Discussion on Sustainable Future

  On November 12, the assembly hall at ITMO’s Lomonosova campus was abuzz with students and faculty as they gathered for a lecture by Rae Kwon Chung, a Korean climate policy expert and laureate of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. In his values-centered talk, the expert redefined the role of university in the age of AI, discussed the common belief that sustainability contradicts economic growth, and offered students advice on choosing a future-proof career.

• ITMO and Sberbank Launch Laboratory for AI-Assisted Multiagent System Automation

  ITMO and Sberbank’s Practical AI Center have launched the Laboratory for Automated Multiagent AI, which aims to make multiagent systems compact, fast, and affordable. The laboratory’s solutions, including tools and benchmarks, are open-access and available to companies that need to automate complex, multi-step tasks. The new laboratory was established following a competition for young research teams at ITMO for joint laboratories in contemporary AI.

• Robot Senses Developed at ITMO: Teaching Machines to See, Remember and Understand Their Surroundings

  ITMO’s Laboratory “Embodied AI and Robotics” has presented a series of solutions meant to enable machines to efficiently interact with the physical world around them: to see and recognize spaces, objects, movement, and changes in their environment. Together, these solutions bring robots closer to independent and purposeful interaction with their physical reality.

• ITMO Students Develop Smart AI Examiner

  Students from the open-source club ITMO CRUDoshleps have designed TuneAI, an AI-powered tool that helps with conducting and evaluating tests and interviews. The tool reviews answers based on lectures, presentations, and other teaching materials; test authors can set answer keys and grading systems. The platform was developed by Grigory Sadovoy and Maksim Chusovlyanov, students of the System and Applied Software Bachelor’s program, who presented their platform at the 2026 YaC/e conference in Moscow.

• YaC/e Conference Highlights: Secrets of Teaching in the Age of AI

  Not too long ago, neural networks in education were used only to automate routine tasks. In 2026, however, experts see a radical shift: AI is becoming a full-on thinking partner and transforming the educational process. Knowledge that can be obtained in a single click from AI takes a backseat, while the spotlight is now on something unattainable for machines: fundamental mathematical training and the ability to ask questions and set goals. At the recent YaC/e, one of Russia’s top education conferences, ITMO experts talked about why students aren't rushing to delegate their studies to AI and how universities react to new challenges. Here are the highlights.

• ITMO Researchers Develop Test for Aptamer Analysis AI Models

  Scientists from ITMO’s Center for AI in Chemistry have released AptaBench, the first specialized benchmark for verifying models that predict the interaction of aptamers with small molecules. Aptamers find their applications in diagnostics, biosensors, and medicine development, and thus have practical significance for biomedicine. Such models can facilitate the search for new aptamers by selecting the most promising variants that are then verified in the lab. However, before scientists can trust such predictions, it’s important to verify how good the models can process data they haven’t seen before. AptaBench can conduct this verification in standardized conditions.

• ITMO Rector at Alfa Future Summit: AI at Universities Is Evolution, Not Revolution

  The AI-native approach – which entails building processes around AI from ground up –  is usually discussed in terms of business. The corporate management structure, too, is typical for companies, not universities. And yet, these approaches are increasingly used in higher education: some universities introduce generative AI into management and academic processes, while others try on corporate logic and bring solutions to market. These trends were discussed by university rectors and representatives at the Alfa Future Summit.

• Chief AI Officer: Why Companies Need One and Where to Start

  Around 70% of major Russian companies have already integrated generative AI solutions into at least one business process. But how can one make sure the technology is used to solve specific business tasks and increase profit, not as a mere “trendy toy”? These problems are being solved by chief AI officers, or CAIOs – an emerging role that has firmly established itself abroad and is now gaining popularity in Russia. Read on to learn more about what CAIOs do, why companies need them, and how such leaders are trained by ITMO, Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO, and Yandex.

• ITMO Master’s Students Create Homework-Checker AI Assistant for Avito

  Students of ITMO Master’s program AI Talent Hub have come out with Avito AI Reviewer, a prototype AI assistant for use by the teaching staff of Avito’s educational programs. The company is planning to cut down on routine work when checking homework without relying on AI for the final grade: the service prepares a preliminary review based on the established criteria, highlights questionable points, and suggests questions that could be used to check students’ comprehension of the topic.
