The FINOPOLIS 2025 Forum of Innovative Financial Technologies, organized by the Bank of Russia, took place in Sochi. One of the key topics of the event was the impact of artificial intelligence on the financial market.

Viktor Dostov, Professor of the Department of Applied Artificial Intelligence at RUDN University and Chairman of the Electronic Money Association (EMA), presented at the session "Digital Divide: AI – the 'Great Equalizer' or the 'Great Divider'?" The discussion was moderated by Mikhail Mamuta, Head of the Bank of Russia's Service for Consumer Protection and Financial Inclusion.

Session participants discussed key challenges associated with the use of AI, including the risk of increasing inequality, the problem of imposing decisions on clients, and the issue of trust in algorithms.

In his speech, Viktor Leonidovich touched on a fundamental aspect of technological development, noting that any new technology is initially inferior to traditional solutions, but it is precisely in this "weakness" that lies the potential for a future breakthrough.

"AI still leads to some leveling, and therefore contributes to progress," says Viktor Dostov.

The expert also presented his view on the future of the financial sector, where traditional credit institutions are being transformed by artificial intelligence.

"At the same time, we will truly get new banks—AI agents in place of traditional credit institutions. This transformation will ultimately benefit all market participants, and most importantly, consumers, who will receive more personalized, efficient, and accessible financial services," says Viktor Dostov.

Also at the session, representatives from the Bank of Russia, the State Duma, and leading financial companies (such as Sber, Alfa-Bank, T-Bank, Yandex, and others) discussed the need for legislative regulation of AI, the importance of maintaining customer trust, and ethical risks, including the potential for manipulation of consumer behavior. There was no consensus on whether AI is a "divider" or an "equalizer," but all experts agreed that the impact of artificial intelligence on the financial sector will only increase.

Viktor Leonidovich's participation in the FINOPOLIS 2025 forum underscored the importance of the RUDN University scientific community in shaping the expert agenda in the field of AI and its practical application in the Russian economy. Our university's Faculty of Artificial Intelligence, supported by a grant from the Ministry of Digital Development, continues to expand and strengthen its academic and professional ties to implement top-level educational programs in this field.

The activities of the PPSh are aimed at reducing the shortage in the Novosibirsk region and the Siberian macroregion of teaching staff for specialized mathematical and natural science education (secondary general education, higher education) with experience in research activities.

"Improving the quality of teaching is one of the key objectives of the comprehensive action plan to enhance the quality of mathematics and natural science education. The NSU Specialized Educational and Scientific Center (SESC) annually hosts conferences and professional development programs aimed at enhancing the professional skills of teachers in mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology. Currently, NSU does not have a higher education program in pedagogy, so we decided to begin entering this field through continuing education. In the future, we plan to launch comprehensive research in education and education management at NSU, including at the SESC Methodological Center," comments the director. Specialized Scientific Center of Novosibirsk State University Lyudmila Nekrasova.

Professional retraining program "Teaching Mathematics and Related Disciplines in Higher and Universities"is the first in a series of educational programs at the school.

— We began developing the program itself in the spring during a series of Project-Analytical Sessions Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics"The program will help students, young teachers, and researchers without specialized pedagogical training gain basic knowledge and expand their toolkit. It is also suitable for experienced teachers who want to improve their professional skills. We focus specifically on high school and college students, as professional knowledge in the field is crucial for education at these levels," comments Anastasia Karpenko, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mathematics at NSU and the program's developer.

"The program's creation was made possible by combining the efforts and systematization of the experience accumulated at the NSU Specialized Educational and Scientific Center and the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok. The Sobolev Institute of Mathematics and the Resonance School of Informal Education (Tomsk) also served as program partners. Involving active teachers and researchers—those with unique pedagogical practices—in teaching, project management, and theses will ensure the high professional level of the program's graduates. We are also open to collaboration with other educational and scientific organizations," explains Svetlana Kraichinskaya, Associate Professor at the NSU Mathematical Center and the program's developer.

The "Teaching Mathematics and Related Subjects in Higher and Tertiary Education" program can be combined with study and work: classes will be held in modules and in the evenings.
