Andrey Shcherbenok, Director of the School of Advanced Studies (SAS) at Tyumen State University (TSU) and Director of Bachelor's Programs at the Moscow School of Management "Skolkovo", said at a press conference at TASS on September 12 that on September 9, Skolkovo launched an intensive 48-hour bachelor's course "Biology of Human Behavior", which is taught by a substitute professor "AI persona" and teacher-mediator.

of a chatbot based on artificial ecuador whatsapp number databa se intelligence (AI) and the pedagogical "binding" of the course were carried out by specialists from the Center for Educational Development Based on AI Technologies at Tyumen State University with the support of specialists from Skolkovo.

"The center offers a two-part solution: a personalized AI-based system that takes disciplinary expertise, and a mediator - a live person in the audience who moderates the process of interaction between students and the chatbot. The mediator's task is extremely non-trivial: he needs to use pedagogical practices that can adequately replace the syncretic figure of a star professor," explained Andrey Shcherbenok.

The Moscow School of Management Skolkovo has two Bachelor of Business programs, and both have a course in human behavioral biology. The goal of this course is to give students a biological perspective on human behavior without trying to give them a comprehensive biology education, for which there is no time in the program.

"For two years, we unsuccessfully tried to find a teacher in Russia who would conduct a course similar to Robert Sapolsky's famous Human Behavioral Biology course at Stanford. In the third year, AI came to the rescue. Specialists from the Center for Educational Development in Tyumen took all the lectures available on YouTube and all of Sapolsky's books and stitched them into an AI model that works on the principle of a chatbot, capable of both answering questions on the course topic and asking students questions, advancing them on the subject matter of the discipline. Then we brought in a mediator, a SAS graduate with experience working with AI personalities. She is not a biologist, but a specialist in the field of pedagogy. During the course, the mediator uses a wide range of pedagogical tools that orchestrate the complex interaction of students with each other and with the chatbot and force them not only to deeply immerse themselves in the current issues of human behavior biology, but also to learn how to apply theoretical models to analyze specific cases," said Andrey Shcherbenok.

According to him, this format ("AI persona" + mediator) is in demand when a university has an educational task, but there is no teacher capable of solving it qualitatively, and this is a very typical situation for Russian higher education programs.
