On December 11, during the international AI Journey conference, Russia’s first textbooks on artificial intelligence for grades 5–9 were presented. These textbooks were jointly developed and published by the “Alliance in the Field of Artificial Intelligence” Association and the “Prosveshcheniye” publishing house. The textbooks will help students in grades 5–9 understand the principles of artificial intelligence, solve practical problems using AI, and learn more about its applications, including real-world examples from Alliance member companies. Available in both print and digital formats, the textbooks are supplemented with digital content designed to develop practical skills in Russian neural network interfaces. The content for grades 5–6 and 7–8 is divided into two cycles that can be studied either independently or sequentially. The content for grade 9 builds upon either cycle or can serve as a standalone course. Textbook for grades 5–6: Comprising 9 modules (34 academic hours), it introduces concepts such as “artificial intelligence,” “neural networks,” “deep learning,” and “datasets.” The authors compare natural and artificial intelligence, address issues of morality, ethics, and safety in AI development and application, and showcase AI’s use in various fields, including manufacturing and ecology. Textbook for grades 7–8: This includes 10 modules (68 academic hours). It expands upon the knowledge gained in grades 5–6, explores technologies in greater depth, and demonstrates how complex neural networks work through simple examples. It also provides practical cases of AI applications. Textbook for grade 9: Comprising 6 core modules and 2 optional advanced modules (34 academic hours), it introduces students to AI-related professions and generative AI capabilities, including using AI to create new content and support personal learning. The optional modules delve into programming techniques for AI and the mathematics of machine learning. The textbooks include theoretical and practical tasks available in both print editions and digital supplements. They aim to develop critical thinking, analytical skills, creativity in problem-solving, and enhance digital and functional literacy.
