How is SUSU planning to "tame" artificial intelligence?
Following the news that a special council under the Governor for the development of artificial intelligence will be organised in the Chelyabinsk Region, SUSU has announced the creation of two educational centres that will train specialists in this field. The university also signed several important agreements at once that determine the vector of the educational trajectory for its students.
A ceremony of signing the order on enrolment of applicants to state-funded places within the framework of the 2025 Admissions Campaign took place at South Ural State University. From September 1st, more than 1700 first-year students will begin training in advanced academic programmes in the fields of engineering, robotics, computer technology and artificial intelligence, in the humanities, economics and natural sciences.
The Admissions Campaign is wrapping up, so it is high time to review the results. Here are the academic programmes of South Ural State University most popular with the 2025 applicants.
Many school pupils dream of enrolling in one of the major Russian universities, where education is combined with innovations, digital technologies, active student life and international opportunities.
The life of a first-year student means new impressions, freedom and the first adult challenges. Yesterday's schoolchildren suddenly find themselves in a different world: lectures instead of lessons, strict deadlines instead of the usual homework, and a mentor who will not remind you about unsubmitted work as a class teacher did.
The best AI specialists in Russia are trained at the universities participating in the Priority 2030 program and the Advanced Engineering Schools project. This is the conclusion made by experts of the third annual AI Alliance's Ranking. They assessed 203 universities from 68 regions of our country.

How does a lie detector work? Vladimir Kodkin, Professor of the SUSU Department of Automated Electric Drive (who once took a polygraph test himself), answers.
The principles of operation of a lie detector are based on the fact that the human body reacts to attempts to deceive, causing changes in the functioning of internal organs.
If we consider a person as a complex structure, the polygraph partly intersects with the principles of diagnosing the human condition that I previously studied and conducted research on.
