• A Better Way: ITMO Presents AI-Based Service for Public Transit Route Optimization

  ConnectPT, developed by a team from ITMO’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence, can analyze existing public transportation routes and provide recommendations on how to improve them. With the service, urban planners and transportation engineers will be able to spend less time on developing the transportation system, while also lowering the risk of errors. Compared to similar products, the new open-source system can work with a minimal amount of data about urban development and transportation infrastructure, as well as being more flexible to client demands.

• Design in the Era of AI: Skills to Learn to Stay Relevant on the Job Market

  According to the recent Future of Jobs study by the World Economic Forum, graphic design will be among the ten fastest-declining job niches in the coming years. No wonder: neural networks do quite a good job on illustrations, banners, and logos. What should human graphic designers do? What skills can they gain to retain their jobs? And can AI fully replace a human specialist? For answers, we turned to Sergey Gurov, a specialist with 20 years of experience in design, a lecturer at Bang Bang Education, and a co-founder of the OSNOVA workshops.

• ITMO Researchers Present Smart Assistant for Nanostructured Materials Design

  Experts at ITMO have created an AI-based platform that automates the search and processing of scientific literature on nanomaterials design. This smart assistant takes minutes to process a user’s request, analyze the related data, and generate responses with 81% accuracy. The system also has an additional agent that evaluates response quality and, if needed, edits the prompt, which brings the risk of hallucinations down a further 15%. With the platform, research teams will be able to proceed from hypothesis to experiment faster. The new assistant and related research were described in a paper published in Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling.

• AI Busted: ITMO Researchers Learn to Detect AI-Modified Texts

  Scientists at ITMO University developed an LLM-based tool that analyzes text content and style to detect whether it was written by a human or an AI. The detector demonstrates the accuracy of 94% and can not only spot AI-generated writings but also offer suggestions to humanize the text. The service will be of use for proper AI labeling, as well as reviewing student papers and corporate documents. A demo version of the technology (in Russian) is already available for testing; we tried it, and it does not lie – this article was indeed written by a real person.
