• ITMO’s New AI Tool To Help Students Defend Theses

  Imagine a future software developer about to defend their graduation project. They prepare the presentation, check their code, and look over its description. In a perfect world, all of these match. At the defense, however, it turns out that one feature was moved to a different module, another remained in the drafts, and a third one is working but isn’t mentioned in the text. That’s quite a common case not only for students, but for developers all over the world. ITMO’s answer to this is OSA.Edu, an AI tool that verifies the code’s actual functions against its description. The system works as an editor and helps students correct their work before submitting it to the committee. Having passed the initial testing by dozens of graduates, the tool is now available to a wider audience.

• No Hallucinations: AI Lecturer to Assist in Higher Math Classes at ITMO

  ITMO University has launched AI Lecturer, an educational platform that students can use to master math courses – solve complex problems and prepare for tests. Unlike other popular models like ChatGPT, the possibility of the platform hallucinating has been brought down to near zero: it has been trained on educational curricula, includes additional verification modules, and will call for a human lecturer in complex cases. The solution has already been tested by students of the AI Engineering program, and starting this academic year, it will be introduced into the first-year curriculum.

• All-Purpose Robots for New Applications: ITMO’s Sergey Kolyubin Talks Teaching Machines to Think and Act

  Industrial robots are good at handling routine operations, but they are incapable of adapting to new conditions and take a long time to integrate into a process. This problem is solved at ITMO’s Laboratory of Embodied Intelligence in Robotics: here, researchers create systems that enable robots to see and act without an operator. The lab works with major clients and presents its research at international A* AI conferences. Students here work alongside more experienced colleagues and make up to 250,000 rubles a month.

• Ethics in the Age of AI: In Conversation With ITMO Expert Daria Chirva

  Is AI conscious? Why do we need to study if AI already knows all the answers? Who is the author when an AI helps write a paper? And who is responsible for accidents with driverless cars? These and other questions fall in the realm of AI ethics, an emerging field that aims to make sense of the changing world and highlight the aspects we can’t overlook when adopting new technology. ITMO offers several courses on the subject, spearheaded by Daria Chirva, a member of the National Committee for AI Ethics. We chatted with the expert to find out more about ethical AI.
