Children from orphanages in Russia will be taught how to work with AI

Sber has launched an AI training program for children left without parental care and children in orphanages.

According to the bank's press service, the first master class of the new educational course started on May 30 at the School 21 site. Teenagers aged 12-17 learned the basics of working with AI and tried to create queries for the GigaChat neural network model.

Children will study at the School 21 and Algorithmics programming schools. During the intensive courses, they will master practical digital skills.

Sberbank President German Gref noted that the new program, launched on Children's Day, "will open the way for children in orphanages to the world of artificial intelligence, give them practical skills to work with the most modern tools, helping children achieve the goals they set for themselves."
