Representatives of Rostelecom visited the Polytechnic University: Deputy President and Chairman of the Board Darius Khalitov, Advisor to the President Alexey Sergeev, Director of the North-West Macroregional Branch Alexander Loginov and Deputy General Director of RTK IT Roman Khazeev.
The guests were met by the Advisor to the Rector’s Office of SPbPU Vladimir Glukhov, Vice-Rector for Information Technology Andrey Lyamin, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies Maxim Pasholikov and Head of the Public Relations Department Marianna Dyakova.
At the Technopolis Polytech research building, the Rostelecom delegation visited the Supercomputer Center and met with university scientists engaged in developments in the field of computer and AL technologies.
At the meeting, the Director of the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity Dmitry Zegzhda presented the institute’s capabilities in training personnel for the industry and conducting research in the interests of industrial partners. The head of the ICSSC noted that knowledge of information technology is necessary for representatives of all professions today. All specialties of the institute, where more than 4.5 thousand students study, are in demand, on average, the competition is 30 people per place. In its development strategy, the institute is focused on interaction with industry and the public sector, continuity of education and interdisciplinarity, opening laboratories and centers of end-to-end information technology.
Lev Utkin, Chief Researcher at the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Technologies, spoke about research and developments used, for example, to diagnose diseases, and about the use of predictive analytics and explanatory intelligence both in medicine and in solving various production problems. Vladimir Mulyukha, Director of the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Technologies, recalled joint projects with Rostelecom and outlined opportunities for expanding cooperation.
In his response, Rostelecom Deputy President Darius Khalitov noted that the company can cooperate with Polytech in training personnel, using new technologies in the field of AI and in the expert assessment of Polytech scientists. Darius Ravilevich was especially interested in technologies using predictive analytics, which are based on the institute’s own neural networks based on the LLM model of learning on concepts.
I found the programs in the field of artificial intelligence and cyberpsychology very promising, I have not seen anything like that anywhere else. In a sense, IT is becoming a cross-cutting discipline that will permeate applied areas, and there will be many reasons for cooperation, – summed up Darii Khalitov.
Then Rostelecom representatives visited the Youth Trajectory Center “Polytech Tower”, where they met with the student team “Omnivorous” – the bronze prize winner of the international championship “Battle of Robots”. The conversation turned out to be very informative and productive, because Rostelecom is the sponsor of our team, and they have something to discuss with the guys. In particular, they talked about the possibility of creating their own track for training, so as not to go to Moscow every time for this with a 110-kilogram robot.
At the end of the visit, Darii Khalitov became a guest of the live broadcast of the Lepota project in the Polytechnic TV studio. The broadcast was dedicated to Radio Day, which is celebrated on May 7, because it was the invention of radio that became, as they say now, a breakthrough into the world of unlimited possibilities for the development of information transmission technologies. Today it is already digital technologies, tomorrow – artificial intelligence, and the day after tomorrow…
So, answering a question from one of the viewers How do new communication technologies affect the security of users’ personal data? Darius Khalitov said: In the flow of information in which we exist, one of the trends of telecommunications companies is cyber privacy. For us, citizens who use digital services every day, cyber privacy in 10-15 years will become, in a sense, a luxury for which we will be willing to pay. More and more services will appear that allow you to limit the distribution or receipt of information.
To the question “Is it possible for a global communications provider to emerge?” the guest on the air answered that given the current excess of information, a hybrid between distributed data storage technologies and centralized management would be appropriate in the future. “You can’t concentrate everything in one place,” the expert explained. “Communications are the information bread of the 21st century, and the first thing we do when we wake up is watch the news on our phone, and only then do we go to breakfast. Therefore, access to information is already a critical infrastructure. And it must be fault-tolerant.”
