Moscow State University Establishes AI Faculty

MSU establishes a faculty of artificial intelligence.

Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov (MSU) has established a faculty of artificial intelligence. Preparations are underway for the first student intake, announced the institution’s rector, Viktor Sadovnichy, to journalists.

MSU hosts a Research Center in the field of artificial intelligence, an AI Institute, and the ‘Intellect’ fund.

“The new faculty will integrate all these elements into a single system, ensuring comprehensive training for this field and promoting broader implementation of neural networks in various research areas. The first student intake will take place next year,” clarified the MSU press service.

On September 1, 2023, the university launched the MSU-270 supercomputer, aimed at the development of AI systems and research using the technology.

Earlier, it was revealed that Russia does not plan to introduce AI regulation in the next two years.

Back in December 2024, Russia created a virtual assistant based on AI for psychologists, which doubles productivity, service quality, and revenue.
