HSE University Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge analyzed trends in ocean technologies using Intelligent FOResight Analytics system iFORA.

January 23, 2026 The HSE University International Laboratory for Digital Transformation in Public Administration (the Laboratory) and Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) presented the results of a comparative study of human-centered barriers to the introduction of AI in public administration in Russia and China.

Michael Appiah, from Ghana, is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the International Laboratory of Intangible-Driven Economy (IDLab) at HSE University–Perm. He recently spoke at the seminar ‘Artificial Intelligence, Digitalization, and Climate Vulnerability: Evidence from Heterogeneous Panel Models’ about his research on ‘the interplay between artificial intelligence, digitalisation, and climate vulnerability.’ Michael told the HSE News Service about the academic journey that led him to HSE University, his early impressions of Perm, and how AI can be utilised to combat climate change.

A study conducted by researchers from the Laboratory of Molecular Mechanisms of Longevity, focusing on the role of the tumor microenvironment in triple-negative breast cancer, has been accepted for publication in the journal Current Drug Therapy. The work reveals new aspects of the interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment

Diana Maltseva, Head of the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems, has begun teaching her updated lecture course “Matrix Processes.” The course focuses on the latest understanding of fundamental cellular processes and highlights key discoveries made in this field in recent years

Researchers at the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have studied how the brain responds to audio deepfakes—realistic fake speech recordings created using AI. The study shows that people tend to trust the current opinion of an authoritative speaker even when new statements contradict the speaker’s previous position. This effect also occurs when the statement conflicts with the listener’s internal attitudes. The research has been published in the journal NeuroImage.

The 109th session of the "Formal Philosophy" seminar was held on January 28.

Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge has analyzed the key statements of Brazil’s plan for artificial intelligence (AI) development approved by government, which envisages intensifying of research and training highly qualified personnel as well as AI technology implementation expanding in main industries.

On January 23, 2026, a scientific seminar was held at the International Laboratory of Intangible-driven Economy (IDLab). During the seminar, laboratory researcher Michael Appiah presented a report on the role of artificial intelligence and digitalization in mitigating climate risks. The study addressed whether modern technologies can help countries adapt to the consequences of climate change.
