🧠 The international conference “AI Ethics: The Convergence of Technology and Diverse Moral Traditions” took place in Doha, organized by Hamad Bin Khalifa University with the support of UNESCO, Qatari ministries, Skoltech, and other partners.
The event brought together leading experts, researchers, and policymakers to discuss ethical and regulatory aspects of artificial intelligence — from health care and urban planning to finance and security.
Among the participants was Professor Ivan Tyukin from Skoltech’s AI Center, who took part in the panel discussion “AI and the Changing Face of Care: Empathy, Professional Identity, and Human Connection.” He addressed issues of trust in AI, transparency of performance metrics, and the vulnerability of large models to external manipulations. In the discussion, Tyukin called ethics “nonalgorithmizable” and expressed hope that humanity would strive to use the technology responsibly.
The conference was attended by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, ministers, and leading figures from the academic community.
Skoltech participated as an institutional partner alongside the University of Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, and other academic organizations committed to shaping a balanced approach to the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

🆕 Researchers from Skoltech, in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Iceland, the University of Warsaw, and the Institute of Spectroscopy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, have for the first time created a reconfigurable polariton 2D quasicrystal. The breakthrough, published in the prestigious journal Science Advances and supported by Grant from the Russian Science Foundation
They demonstrated that this unique state of matter exhibits long-range order and a novel type of phase synchronization, opening new pathways for research into exotic phenomena such as supersolids and superfluidity in aperiodic settings.

🎉 They say a place becomes special because of its people and their stories. For this birthday, we decided to create a collective portrait of our campus — not through official reports, but through the personal lens of those who study and work at Skoltech.
Looking at these photos, we see the real Skoltech — vibrant, diverse, and full of amazing people. Our campus is not just walls and laboratories, but first and foremost — an atmosphere, a culture, and a community.
You can find all the photos with the personal stories of our participants about why a particular spot became their favorite in our VKontakte album.
