Artem Chermenin, Director, Strategic Development at VK Play - Captured by the World Wide Web: Content and Algorithms
Digital platforms can be compared to media giants: they are a source of information for many people, but often do not even carry out basic content moderation. Why do social media algorithms sometimes offer us something that we have never watched and do not want to watch? Destructive content can provoke depression and other psychological problems and contribute to the spread of cyberbullying. Fake news is on the rise, and social networks can block any account due to a complaint from a user. How not to get lost in this complex reality, and who can help you to cope with all this?

- Fake manipulations in the mass media: how to recognize them and convince friends of the unreliability of information?As part of an interactive master class, participants will discuss the problem of the influence of fake information on a person's personality and "mass consciousness", learn about the mechanisms for preventing the influence of fake information on a person's value system, as well as ways to protect against it, including talking about fact-checking and specific lexical , grammatical and other "markers" that allow you to identify fakes. During the master class, participants will learn to identify fakes on specific cases, which will become the most important element of "self-defense" on the Web, contributing to at least minimal information security.

- "We All Live in the Matrix": the Future of the Metaverses
Almost all global ICT companies are actively investing money to develop their metaplatforms. Some companies started ordering digital copies of their businesses, and first users have already experienced life in the metaverse. A reasonable question for both philosophers and visionaries, as well as ordinary users arises: will we at some point find ourselves in the world described in 'The Matrix' movie?

Andrey Kuleshov, Analyst of the AI Competence Centre of NTI, MIPT - Choose a Career From a Young Age: New Demands of the Old Labour Market
2021 has already been called the "year of IT": the demand for IT specialists has risen to unprecedented heights, and employers are hunting for the best ones. The shortage of personnel in the IT industry in Russia is 49%(from 500,000 to 1 million) and is in the top 5 among all industries. Young professionals have changed priorities: many want to continue to work remotely or be a freelancer, instead of concluding a traditional employment contract. Meanwhile, universities have a record high number of applications for the ICT majors. And what should do those whose profession may disappear due to digitalization? What specialties will be in demand in the future?
