The benefits of AI in education

Personalizing Training

Generative AI can be used to create individual curricula for each student based on individual mental, physical abilities, interests, and predispositions. This will reveal the potential of each person most effectively - the musician will be a musician, and the physicist will be a physicist.

Integration of Interactive Learning Materials

Integrate interactive learning materials based on analysis and structuring beyond a large array of up-to-date information, leveraging the world's best achievements in science and education. AI can generate a variety of content in real time, increasing student engagement in the learning process, increasing their attention, interest, and enhancing conversion from learning.

Interactive learning can take place in continuous gameplay, allowing children to concentrate on the material. Studying like an exciting game in any specialty - what could be better for children? This is a revolution in education.

Virtual Assistants

With the introduction of AI, it is expected that there will no longer be a link to low teacher qualifications. For any, even the most inconvenient question, you can get an exhaustive answer in any format, ranging from informal/game, to strict academic style.

Objective learner assessment mechanism

An impartial and unbiased mechanism for assessing students based on the real net effectiveness of each student, which will allow you to quickly adapt the educational process to leaders and outsiders.

Developing critical thinking and problem solving skills

Developing critical thinking and problem solving skills: AI can offer complex and realistic scenarios that require students to analyze, think critically and solve problems.

GOST AI in education approved in Russia

In early October 2024, GOST R 71657-2024 "Technologies of artificial intelligence in education" was approved in Russia. Functional subsystem for the creation of scientific publications. General provisions. " The document was developed by the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education "Volgograd State University" (FSAEI HE VolSU). Read more here.

Insider's view: how artificial intelligence is changing the learning process

Artificial intelligence (AI) conquers various areas of activity, including such a conservative one as education. What are the latest developments in the industry, how they transform the learning process and are integrated into it - says Anton Novikov, head of the mobile development department of the international AI platform for teaching business English Talaera.

How artificial intelligence reduces the burden on university teachers in Russia by 5 times

Artificial intelligence is gradually finding use in Russian universities among both students and teachers. In June 2024, TAdviser interviewed market participants to learn about real AI application projects and barriers to truly mass adoption of such technologies in higher education.

The Alliance in Artificial Intelligence estimates that the benefits of artificial intelligence are that they help educators save time, including developing customized curricula. SafeNet National Technology Initiative (NTI) market expert Ivan Lindberg agrees with this and believes that AI reduces the work time of teachers by 4-5 times.

Artificial intelligence can be effectively used to draw up a class or course plan, removing part of the routine work from the teacher, says Margarita Burova, academic head of the Master of Data Science online master's program, senior lecturer at the Department of Big Data and Information Search at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science. Also, according to her, teachers use AI to diversify lectures (create interesting and cognitive illustrations, graphs, presentations, etc.) and form feedback for students.

If you've gone through a lesson and you don't understand the term or the whole paragraph, you can just pick out that piece and ask for the model's help. She will give an additional explanation, which will help the assimilation of the material, "says Sergey Karapetyan, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Higher School of Economics, Director of the Center for Continuing Education at the Higher School of Economics.

At Innopolis University, AI technologies are integrated into the operation of an online educational platform and are used to:

• timely response to appeals;
• prompt informing and automation of the process of interaction with users within ecosystems (AI answers frequently encountered user questions, routes the request to the required specialist depending on the request category);
• user support using machine learning and natural language processing technologies.

Another area of ​ ​ AI use in universities is chatbots and voice assistants. The Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin is developing a project to create a chat bot for communication between students, teachers and representatives of the administrative and managerial staff of the university. As planned, the bot should process incoming text messages and provide a response to some typical messages on its own. 

Kemerovo State University uses AI to analyze statistics and predict student performance. When identifying risk groups, work is carried out with students, which has already allowed to reduce the percentage of expelled students and increase the level of academic performance.

At Kazan Federal University, teachers use existing AI services to translate educational content into a digital environment, for example, digital avatar generation services are used to create online lectures.

TomSU has developed an online adaptive mathematics learning system for students, which, using genetic algorithms, creates a student's digital double, evaluates his skills and builds an individual learning trajectory.

MIPT uses AI technologies when creating internal online courses for students, as well as analyzing their academic performance. Based on the assessment received, AI sets up personalized recommendations for each student to study the material. The university is also involved in research related to the use of AI in education.

And at the Financial  University under the Government of the Russian Federation, a video surveillance analysis system was introduced in the classrooms, which controls the level of student involvement in classes. In some Russian universities, this system has been improved by adding an analysis of data from thermal imagers to measure the temperature of students, Maria Obraztsova, director of the Institute of Additional Education at Innopolis University, told TAdviser.

Problems of introducing AI in universities

Innopolis University considers the need for a serious restructuring of the internal processes and infrastructure of the university, as well as high financial investments in product development, their implementation and personnel training, as a serious barrier to the integration of AI-based systems.

Teachers who use AI in their work should be extremely attentive and critical of the answers, since artificial intelligence may incorrectly answer some questions, notes Margarita Burova. In addition, AI does a pretty bad job generating math and programming jobs, she said.

The HSE also draws attention to such a problem as the ethics of the use of AI. And in some cases, educators themselves oppose the introduction of artificial intelligence, worried that these technologies will replace them as specialists in the future.

Therefore, in such cases, it is necessary to first carry out work to explain the roles in the education of a teacher and technologies, it is important to convey the idea that AI in any industry is not a competitor, but an assistant, it is being introduced to remove routine tasks from a person. It is extremely important to form a digital culture among all employees of the organization, - believes Maria Obraztsova from Innopolis University.

Teachers leading non-IT disciplines most often do not have the skills necessary for confident navigation in the fields of Data Science, data analysis, the use of AI, said Alexander Kozlov, director of the iSpring Institute of the Russian University of Metatechnologies.

Experts interviewed by TAdviser also noted a shortage of qualified personnel in the field of AI and machine learning to develop and support systems. 

According to Yevgeny Grigoriev, deputy head of artificial intelligence at the T1 holding, when introducing AI in universities, it is also necessary to ensure the protection of students' personal data and provide for the integration of services with existing information systems of the university, which can be a difficult technical task.

American schools and colleges began to use chatbots more often to evaluate students' work

In early April 2024, it became known that teachers in American schools and colleges began to use artificial intelligence-based chatbots more often to evaluate students' work. Students also actively use AI tools when completing tasks. Read more here.

The main barriers to the introduction of AI into education are unequal opportunities for access to digital resources

According to the research of the ANO "Digital Economy," the main barriers to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in education are unequal opportunities for access to digital resources and concerns of parents. This was announced on February 1, 2024 by the press service of the State Duma deputy RFAnton Nemkin.

Other reasons, according to experts, include a lack of qualified specialists with appropriate digital competencies, as well as the problem of state access to large data that are used to train AI models.

The directions of application of AI in education are very diverse. Appropriate technologies are used to analyze the behavior of students, personalize the learning process, proctoring (control procedure for an online exam or testing), check the level of knowledge and work of students and other tasks, the study says.

According to experts of the ANO "Digital Economy," the introduction of AI tools into the educational process is an opportunity to increase the level of accessibility and inclusivity of the sphere.

According to the results of the study, experts formed a number of recommendations for executive authorities for the development of AI in the field of education, including: the implementation of large infrastructure projects supporting the introduction of AI in education, the development of state orders in the field of educational AI innovations, the development of education by attracting AI specialists and training in the direction of existing teachers.

Recommendations for the introduction of AI were formulated for educational organizations. According to experts, it is possible to achieve effective integration of AI into the sphere when it is directly used in training, as well as when interacting with centers of competence in the field of using AI in education and with specialized businesses.

Artificial intelligence is starting to play an increasing role in this transformation. This, in particular, is another tool for the development of education inclusion, due to which students with disabilities will be able to adapt and get involved in social life. From world practice, we know many successful social IT projects that have significantly changed people's lives: for example, American students have developed an application for deaf and hard of hearing people, which will later help them abandon hearing aids. These are projects that should be implemented in our country, including by the students themselves, the deputy said.

The educational process is sometimes saturated with routine tasks, in which case AI can become an effective assistant for both students and teachers. For example, in terms of finding any information or checking homework. You should not be afraid of such technologies: this is only another auxiliary tool, the deputy emphasized.

Private initiative is particularly important. Already in February 2024, there are AI-based services that help teachers with lesson planning, checking materials for plagiarism, as well as creating personalized training tasks. These are useful tools that teachers should know about, - said the deputy.

The introduction of scientific and pedagogical staff to technologies, according to the deputy, is possible due to a systematic educational policy.

Within the framework of the Digital Russia party project, we are just working in this direction. For example, the "Learn Digital" project is aimed at improving the working conditions of computer science teachers in all regions of the Russian Federation. Its main goal is to create an educational platform that will contain educational materials, guidelines, video tutorials and other training resources for computer science teachers. We strive to help teachers improve their qualifications, develop professional skills in order to more effectively teach digital technologies to their students. I am confident that supporting teachers and stimulating student interest in digital technologies will help create a new generation of IT specialists and programmers who will contribute to the further development of digitalization in Russia, concluded Anton Nemkin.

Six more universities will receive financial support for the development of AI research centers

The Russian government has selected 6 universities, on the basis of which research centers in the field of artificial intelligence will be opened. The Government will receive support from the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, Samara University named after Academician S.P. Korolev, Novosibirsk State University, NRNU MEPhI, N.N. I. Lobachevsky, St. Petersburg State University. Financing is provided for by the national project "Digital Economy of Russia." This was announced on January 9, 2024 by the press service of the State Duma deputy RFAnton Nemkin.

Higher educational institutions in the period until 2026 will receive up to 632 million. Taking rubles into account extrabudgetary funding, the total amount will be over 5 billion rubles. The funding will affect both the development of specialized scientific research in the field of AI and the development of practical technologies based on. IT

According to the director of the department for research centers in the field of AI of the Analytical Center under the Government, Sergey Nakvasin a total of 28 applications from scientific organizations from 17 regions were submitted. Russia The largest number of applications came from the digital,, and industries industries. health care transport logistics

This is one of the key directions of state support for the development of artificial intelligence technologies, which is aimed both at solving fundamental problems and at solving applied ones: for example, in terms of introducing AI into the social sphere. Let me remind you that back in 2021, six leading universities Russia became participants in the program. This,, Skoltech Innopolis University the University,, and ITMO HSE the PRO MIPT named after V.P RAS. Ivanniĸova, - said the deputy.

The scope of AI is broad. For example, the technology takes the management of urban processes to a qualitatively new level: for example, AI models passenger flows, allowing you to "breed" traffic in the future and reduce the number of traffic jams on the roads, "Nemkin said.

A positive and, probably, the most important aspect of the past competition is the provision of grants to IT non-core research centers in the field, the deputy said.

This, of course, applies to medical centers. The positive impact of the introduction of AI in the field of medicine, especially in terms of cancer, has been noted more than once. In addition, this time the emphasis is largely on regional universities. This is an important step in the context of decentralization of the development of both artificial intelligence itself and digital tools in principle. In this matter, one cannot allow a "skew" between the capital and the subjects, and this approach just excludes this, "Nemkin said.

At the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman developed and launched the first AI programming teacher in Russia

MSTU named after N.E. Bauman In developed and launched the first Russia AI in the programmer. The service is able to analyze knowledge to suggest a further direction. With its help, you can solve more than 7 thousand problems. More. here

In South Korea, robots began to teach schoolchildren English

In late November 2023, the Seoul Education Authority announced that robotic tutors were being introduced in South Korean primary and secondary schools to help students learn English. We are talking about the use of specially designed "electronic teachers" based on artificial intelligence.

It is reported that the initiative is aimed at improving the quality of teaching English to children and adolescents in public educational institutions. AI tutors were developed in conjunction with an unnamed private company: they look like robot waiters. The experiment on the use of machines begins in five schools in the South Korean capital: if the results are positive, such tutors will appear in other educational institutions.

In South Korean elementary and secondary schools there will be robot tutors who will help students in learning English

Robotic English teachers will help schoolchildren improve their knowledge, spoken language and pronunciation skills. For students experiencing difficulties, robots will be able to provide individual educational programs that allow them to master the language at the most convenient pace. AI tutors will be able to communicate with schoolchildren face-to-face. At the same time, it is emphasized that such robots are designed to become assistants to human teachers, and not completely replace them.

In addition, schools will be provided with an application based on an intelligent chatbot: with its help, students will be able to practice communicating in foreign languages ​ ​ through mobile devices. The application allows you to participate in conversations and discussions with AI on various topics that users themselves can choose. After completing one or another course, students will be able to take advantage of the acquired skills in real life, and a chatbot, analyzing speech, will report on the results of training.^[1]

Artificial intelligence will help reduce the number of write-offs during the exam

Artificial intelligence proved its effectiveness during the Unified State Exam (USE), Elena Alekseicheva, professor at the Moscow City Pedagogical University (MGPU), told Gazeta.Ru on November 8, 2023. The massive use of neural networks to monitor examination classrooms in 2023 revealed approximately 500 violations in 84 regions of the country, which indicates significant progress compared to the first use of the technology in 2020, when only 17 violations were discovered.

AI algorithms are trained to recognise students' suspicious behaviour, such as unusual gestures or glances, by capturing them for further analysis by experts. This allows educational institutions to focus on real incidents, minimizing false positives and significantly saving observer time.

Elena Alekseicheva stressed that the neural network does not replace a person when checking the answers of schoolchildren, but supplements it, acting as a primary filter. Artificial intelligence analyzes video footage and notes moments for validation, allowing experts to focus on analyzing the most significant episodes.

Professor Alekseicheva claims that the introduction of AI into the USE process can become a significant factor in the fight against "educational tourism" - the practice of moving students to regions with less strict control over exam passing. Unification of the level of control throughout Russia contributes to the creation of equal conditions for all students and supports the fairness of assessment.

In addition, the expert admits a possible decrease in the average score in the country as a positive effect of the introduction of neural networks, since such a change will reflect a more honest picture of the level of training of students in the regions. This will improve the quality of education, as schools and students will strive for real absorption of material, rather than finding ways to bypass control.

A few years ago, when I worked at another university, colleagues complained in the admissions committee that applicants came with USE certificates for 90-100 points in the Russian language, who could not even fill out an application on the spot, since they practically did not speak Russian. Moscow has always had tighter write-off control, so despite the large number of Olympiads, the average score is lower here, "Alekseicheva said.

In addition to this, the application of AI in the examination process significantly reduces the burden on observers, allowing them to use their resources and time more efficiently, and also provides data for analysis and further improvement of the educational environment.

Russian schools will introduce AI to check homework

In Russian schools, artificial intelligence will be introduced to check homework. This is stated in the updated strategy for the digital transformation of education, which was approved by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The corresponding order was published in early November 2023.

Pedagogical workers and students will be provided with the possibility of using automated verification of homework and planning educational programs with the involvement of artificial intelligence systems, - said in a document published on the portal of federal state educational standards.

Part of homework in Russian schools will check AI

Earlier in October 2023, the deputy head of the Ministry of Digital Industry Oleg Kachanov said that the department could add an auto-check of homework to a typical solution for schools.

This standard solution can be used by those regions that do not have the means and technical competencies in order to develop their own solutions... This indicator [checking homework in automatic mode] is the most understandable and simple, which unloads teachers, but for some reason is not put at the forefront anywhere. The share of automatically checked homework, we expect, should be included in the requirements, - explained Kachanov.

The press service of the Ministry of Digital Development later noted that the requirements for regional educational systems will include "the share of automatically checked homework."

There is no talk of switching to a fully automatic check, the department said.

Experts interviewed by RIA Novosti expressed the opinion that the AI-system for checking "homework" can be implemented, but for simple tasks, for example, test ones, while the computer will not be able to check creative tasks, and they cannot be abandoned.

The first Moscow university allowed its students to use AI to write diplomas

On August 31, 2023, the Moscow City Pedagogical University (MGPU) announced that students are officially allowed to use artificial intelligence technologies in the preparation of graduation qualifications. The corresponding decision was made at a meeting of the Scientific Council. Thus, MGPU became the first Moscow university to legalize AI for writing diplomas. Read more here.

2022: Start of a pilot project to check the neural network of schoolchildren's essays

The compositions of Russian schoolchildren in humanitarian disciplines will test the neural network in pilot mode. RIA Novosti reported this with reference to the press service of the National Technological Initiative (NTI) on December 19, 2022.

The development will begin to use from February 2023. The program will check essays on the Russian language, literature, history and social studies.

Neural network in Russia begins to check the compositions of schoolchildren

The algorithm records errors better than the average expert teacher, the NTI said. They added that the program finds grammatical, punctuation and semantic errors. The neural network is expected to save teachers up to 20% of the time.

State Duma deputy, first deputy chairman of the Duma committee on culture Alexander Sholokhov said that artificial intelligence should not replace teachers when checking essays. According to him, this practice will become the embodiment of all the negative consequences of the Unified State Exam.

{{quote 'I definitely consider it impossible to completely switch to such a system, because then it will be a variant of the Unified State Exam, and everything that is negative about the Unified State Exam will be presented here, even to a greater extent, - added Sholokhov. }} In December 2022, HSE teacher Mikhail Pavlovets said that he successfully generated several versions of the final essay for the exam. He created several texts in English using the GPT-3 neural network. Pavlovets gave one of the options to colleagues who admitted that the composition deserves a positive assessment. Although they noted several speech inconsistencies in the work.

Pavlovets formulated a number of questions for officials from education, urging them to revise the criteria and methods for assessing final essays. The current approach, he is sure, does not provide complete objectivity and is vulnerable not only for high-tech neural network cheat sheets, but also for banal plagiarism.^[2]

In rural areas, only 69% of schools use digital learning tools

On January 24, 2022, the company GoStudent presented research data on how to distribute access To Europe and use of various training methods, such as, for example,. artificial intelligence The data of about 12,000 children and their parents were examined as part of the GoStudent Education Report, which was conducted in collaboration with Kantar Market Research in seven European countries, including,,,, Great Britain,, and Germany. France Italy Spain In total Netherlands , from October Austria 1 to October 16, 2021, 6,276 parents and 5,767 children aged 10 to 18 were interviewed.

In rural areas, only 69% of schools use digital learning tools. Photo: commons.com.ua.

According to the company, the amount of time spent on online education is more for children with high-income working parents. According to mid-European data, 9 out of 10 children studied online during the last school year, and almost half of their time spent on education was spent online in 2021. If we consider the penetration of online learning in the light of socio-demographic factors, we can note that this indicator is primarily due to those families where parents work (48%). In addition, children from high-income families (49%) have more opportunities for online learning than children from low- and middle-income families (45%).

Schools in cities offer more innovative teaching methods than schools in rural areas. Children living in large cities are more likely to use digital methods of teaching at school, lead on-base learning AI and mass online courses. In large cities, 76% of children, and in suburbs near large cities, 73% say that they use one of the following methods of digital learning in school: AI-based Learning/Adaptive Learning, Massive Online Courses (mass online courses), Interactive Tools (interactive tools) and flipped Classroom (so-called inverted class). By contrast, in rural areas, only 69% of schools use digital learning tools.

Adaptive learning is more suitable for high-income urban families whose parents have a high level of education. The penetration of adaptive/AI-based learning increases as the population of a settlement grows: while less than 15% of children living in rural areas, 17% of children in small towns/towns have access to similar innovative teaching methods in their school, 39% of children attending school in suburbs near large cities and in large cities can use adaptive learning methods in school. Working parents (18.3%) are more likely to send children to a school that supports adaptive learning methods than the unemployed (15.7%). The willingness to promote innovative teaching methods in the school education of children is higher among those parents who have a master's or PhD degree (21%) compared to parents who belong to a different level of education (16-18%).

Working high-income parents who have higher education and live in large cities are most open to updated learning technologies. The use of artificial intelligence in the education of children is widely discussed in Europe. A closer look at the findings presented in the GoStudent Education report concluded that the higher a parent's income, the more open they are to updated learning technologies, such as AI-based learning (44% of high-income parents vs. 39 low-income parents). In addition, working parents (40%) living in large cities (47%) and having a higher level of education (48% - postgraduate education, 45% - higher education), to a greater extent support the use of AI in the education of their children.

These results are no surprise. The collective goal of public education systems, as well as private educational institutions, should be to address children's unequal access to an innovative learning environment, for example, by optimizing the training and ongoing training of school teachers to introduce digital learning methods into the curriculum, as well as increasing the budget to ensure access to digital learning methods for students living in rural areas. said Felix Oswald, CEO and co-founder of GoStudent

The introduction of AI in education in Russia is also proceeding at a fairly fast pace. The Moscow government is conducting the Moscow Electronic School project, within the framework of which various digital educational materials and services for interactive training are available.

Within the framework of the national project "Education," projects are being implemented - "Modern School," "Success of Every Child," "Digital Educational Environment," "Teacher of the Future," "New Opportunities for Everyone."

Lanit Group of Companies, a major software developer in Russia, uses machine learning to personalize training courses: each student receives his own educational track, which reduces study time by half, while helping to master the material, the company reports. In addition, the company is working on using machine learning to check the correctness of wording in texts, generate questions based on educational materials and recognize answers given by students in free form, for example, in essays.

However, the inertia of the educational system and the unspoken development of AI tools by teachers, as well as a number of technological restrictions, in particular, the insufficient equipping of regional schools with computers, are still obstacles to the rapid implementation of AI technologies in Russian education.

Dangerous schoolchildren will be calculated from writings using AI

Students with a tendency to socially dangerous and destructive behavior will begin to be identified by analyzing their written works. This became known on September 23, 2021. 1.7 billion rubles are provided for the creation of software for such analysis in the budget of the national project "Education," follows from the explanatory note to the draft federal budget for 2022 and for the planning period 2023-2024.. Read more here.

2019: Uses

It is expected that soon education will be impossible to imagine without the participation of artificial intelligence (AI), which will control the educational process from beginning to end. While algorithms are attracted to formation fragmentally.

So, a schoolboy Zhou Yi from the Chinese city of Hangzhou solved his problems with mathematics using AI. The school at which Zhou studied began to collaborate with Squirrel AL, a company specializing in individual training programs. The student's classes were watched by a special algorithm, and by the end of the semester Zhou was able to get the maximum score for the test.

How will AI integrate into the educational process?

Artificial intelligence can be a tutor

There are already several tutoring applications, thanks to which you can further study an incomprehensible topic at any time. AI can also analyze school work, identify problem areas, as well as create individual lessons to fill knowledge gaps.

Artificial intelligence can automate knowledge assessment

It is expected that soon AI will learn to fully check written works and examination tasks using established metrics and benchmarks that will exclude bias or incompetence of teachers.

Artificial intelligence can analyse pupils' behaviour

AI cameras help analyze student behavior. These systems are able to recognize and evaluate how students respond to different topics and tasks. This system should help teachers identify the strengths and weaknesses of students.

Also, AI can analyze the emotional and physical condition of the student at the moment, the reasons for absenteeism, and the professional skills of teachers.

And there's no doubt he can do it better than people. Recently, another confirmation of this appeared: the neural network from the Chinese company Baidu can now recognize the human language better than the person himself. This became known as part of the GLUE language recognition competition, which consists of nine different tests. The average person usually scores 87 points out of 100 using the GLUE method. ERNIE, a neural network from Baidu, was able to get 90 points.

2018: Subject to study artificial intelligence emerges in Chinese schools

At the end of November 2018, it became known that classes on artificial intelligence would be introduced in Chinese schools. The new item will appear in the spring of 2019.

According to China Daily, a series of 10-volume AI textbooks published by East China Normal University Press will appear in hundreds of schools across the country. Schoolchildren will study this subject either optionally or as part of the school curriculum. By the end of November 2018, an AI lesson had already been trialled in Shanghai schools, The Paper, a news website, noted.

In 2019, a lesson on artificial intelligence will be introduced in primary and secondary schools in China

The textbooks set out the history of AI development and how these technologies can be applied in areas such as facial recognition, autonomous driving and public safety.

Textbooks were written by order of the Chinese government to include this discipline in the course of elementary and secondary school.

Unlike other publications, these manuals will allow you to use "both the hands and the brains of students." Immediately after theoretical study, it is planned to conduct practical classes aimed at better understanding and assimilation of the program. This is done in order to give children not only the necessary basic knowledge of the subject, but also to the maximum to reveal and realize their creative abilities and imagination.

The introduction in China of school textbooks on the study of artificial intelligence indicates that the country, having made great progress in the study of AI, decided to make the study of this technology available to as many children as possible.

According to the plan of the Chinese authorities, by 2020 the volume of investments in AI within the country will exceed 150 billion yuan (about $21.6 billion at the exchange rate as of December 3, 2018  ), and by 2025 - 400 billion yuan ($57.6 billion).^[3]
