Teachers in Russian schools can use artificial intelligence at different stages of their work: from preparing educational materials to analyzing the performance and behavior of participants in the educational process, including adapting content for children with disabilities.

Students in grades 5–11 will be able to use artificial intelligence to perform educational tasks with the consent of the teacher: in grades 5–9 – to search for information, explain concepts and visualize material, in grades 10–11 – also for design and research activities, including data analysis and model building.

The Russian Ministry of Education stated that any materials created by schoolchildren using artificial intelligence must undergo mandatory testing by a teacher for compliance with facts, educational standards, methodological correctness and the age of the children.

The Russian Ministry of Education has banned the use of artificial intelligence during intermediate and final certification, as well as when performing tasks where the student must independently demonstrate knowledge and skills. Students are prohibited from passing off AI-generated texts, solutions, presentations, or projects as their own work. Educators are encouraged to explain the rules for using AI and information security risks before starting work.

The Russian Ministry of Education has issued guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in schools. Minister Sergei Kravtsov said that AI is becoming part of the educational environment and should help the teacher, not replace him.

The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation has issued guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in schools: acceptable tasks for teachers and students by grade are defined, prohibitions on the use of AI in exams and for passing off someone else’s work as one’s own, an emphasis on the protection of personal data and the priority of sovereign AI models.
