Yaroslav Nilov, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs, has prepared a bill regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools.
In a statement to RIA Novosti, Nilov said the aim of the proposal is to establish rules for the use of artificial intelligence in the education system. The politician stated that this step was taken "to prevent people from using it on their own, at their own risk, or from being afraid to use it."
State-approved systems to become mandatory
According to the bill, educational institutions will be required to use only artificial intelligence systems verified by the state. The protection of students' personal data will also be ensured.
Noting that artificial intelligence is a digital element consisting of large data volumes and algorithms, Nilov said, "We must use artificial intelligence correctly so that it serves humanity and reduces unnecessary work."
"There is no need to be afraid"
The politician emphasized that some professions will disappear over time, but new ones will emerge. He noted that people need to continuously improve themselves if they want to be in demand in the labor market.
Nilov said, "Artificial intelligence is spreading rapidly, and now humanity is competing not only with each other but also with artificial intelligence. There is no need to be afraid. However, we should take guidance from the beautiful Russian proverb, 'Live for a century, learn for a century.'"
The bill has been submitted for the Russian government's opinion.
