"The experience gained will be used to develop service support and other areas at the University. The trip to the conference allowed the University to adopt the best practices and accelerate the implementation of AI technologies. New initiatives will improve the quality of services for students and automate many processes, which will strengthen the University's digital maturity and its competitiveness."
Special attention at the meeting was paid to cooperation between universities and the state, as well as the formation of a unified ecosystem for training specialists who are capable to work effectively in the context of the rapid development of digital technologies.
The conference also marked the starting point for bringing together the country's largest higher education organizations to develop a university digital maturity ranking called “Digital Pulse”.

Moscow Polytechnic University is systematically integrating artificial intelligence into all areas of its operation: fr om customer service and speech analytics to document management and research. The University is consistently moving from isolated digital solutions to an AI-native organization model, wh ere neural networks are becoming not just a trendy add-on but an integral part of daily work. The University's plans include the creation of an AI-native educational environment: the introduction of digital student profiles and a unified AI platform in the electronic educational environment (e-Learning resources), wh ere each student will have an AI tutor and each teacher will have an intelligent assistant.
