For years, the governmes of Iran have been seeking the developme of science and technology by compiling developme documes. Some of these documes have been more successful than others. Currely, the Ministry of Science is seeking to manage the coury's developme activities in this field by compiling a draft docume on artificial ielligence.
According to Ecomotive, citing Mehr news agency, the artificial ielligence docume is being compiled since 2018 and the 12th governme. The original version of the docume was prepared in 1400 and is currely being compiled in the hall of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution.
According to this docume, after its approval by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, a “National Artificial Ielligence Ceer” will be established within 6 mohs at most, and this ceer is responsible for preparing the applications of this technology in various fields for the steering headquarters for the implemeation of the comprehensive scieific plan of the coury. .
AI draft docume perspective
According to the vision of the draft artificial ielligence docume, in the horizon of 1412, Iran should be “among the leading artificial ielligence couries in the world and use this technology in governance, the coury's macro issues, wealth creation and social welfare to create the most productivity.”
At the same time, the developme of human capital, the improveme of local artificial ielligence infrastructures and models, the growth of iellectual and scieific products in this field and becoming the artificial ielligence research pole in the region. Iernational authority in at least one branch of this field Along with the competitiveness of the coury's economy using artificial ielligence and the rapid growth of the artificial ielligence economy are other major goals of this docume.
In this docume, national strategies and actions are considered in 7 sectors of governance infrastructure, education and research, data and processing infrastructure, developme of technological products and commercialization, market developme, iernational ieractions, promotion and culture. These measures include things like facilitating the access and exploitation of the coury's data while maiaining the national security and privacy of individuals, developing legal bills to create the required legal infrastructure, developing appropriate standards, training effective human resources, reforming the education system for Strengthening human advaages against artificial ielligence and avoiding unequal competition between humans and artificial ielligence Is.
Developme of artificial ielligence education with ierdisciplinary courses
Another part of the artificial ielligence draft docume refers to the developme of releva training at differe levels from high school to university and the creation of iensive training courses to create specialized human resources. This departme will deal with the developme of various compones of the education ecosystem, including associations, scieific and industrial communities, the establishme and expansion of think tanks and iellectual ceers in this field, and supporting research and developme in this field.
Data Infrastructure and Processing: Developing a Native Large Linguistic Model (LLM).
Developme of extensive national infrastructure to create Open data ecosystemcreating a processing infrastructure, preparing governme and public data lists, facilitating the access of elites and companies to the infrastructure, developing the ability to design and build dedicated artificial ielligence hardware, and supporting the developme of a large native language model suitable for the Iranian-Islamic language and culture. Some of the measures in this area are in the draft artificial ielligence docume.
In addition, in the business developme and product commercialization section, the most importa strategy of this docume is to encourage large companies to use the capacity of start-up companies and support and facilitate business developme and product and service commercialization. For this purpose, creating a network of artificial ielligence laboratories and supporting the developme of software packages.
Attracting projects and eering iernational markets
For the developme of the market, various goals include the developme of the artificial ielligence market with an emphasis on the role of large companies, including the evaluation of the workforce, holding national awards, attracting iernational projects, supporting domestic companies for iernational competition, forming consortiums and cooperation of technologists in the value chain, and upgrading services. Governme has been raised in the draft docume of artificial ielligence.
In order to promote the correct use of artificial ielligence in industry, governme and society, promotion and culture building in ways such as using the capacity of schools and universities, holding scieific competitions and conferences, informing public sector managers and explaining the social and moral effects of artificial ielligence have been emphasized. The aim of this strategy is to increase society's knowledge in the field of artificial ielligence and the ethical and effective use of this technology, emphasizing the principles and values of Islamic civilization.
National priorities of the draft AI docume: no focus and priority
According to this docume, the national priorities of the artificial ielligence docume are as follows:
Tasks of the National Ceer for Artificial Ielligence in the draft of the Artificial Ielligence docume
The duties of the National Artificial Ielligence Ceer are compiled in 8 sections, which are:
- Dividing the general tasks of the institutions and determining the sectoral missions and coordinating them by ideifying and using the institutional and structural infrastructure of the coury to impleme this docume.
- Material, moral, scieific and facilitation support for technologists and companies active in the field of artificial ielligence, service providers, financing funds, technological projects and their commercialization
- Creating financial, physical, service, support, software, equipme infrastructures and semi-industrial and industrial production spaces
- Facilitating the provision of technology developme and commercialization services by providing the resources, facilities and infrastructure needed by project implemeers and private sector technology service brokers.
- Developing a road map for the implemeation of the docume, including providing operational plans to impleme the actions of the docume
- Determining the responsible and partner institutions for the implemeation of programs.
- Creating information systems of companies and specialized products and services, playing a role as a specialized arm of needs assessme, prioritization, orieation and future research in the field of artificial ielligence of the coury and providing the schedule for the implemeation of programs and the budget required for their implemeation.
- Submitting the road map for the implemeation of the docume to the Steering Staff for the implemeation of the comprehensive scieific map of the coury no later than six mohs after the notification of the docume and submitting the annual evaluation report for the implemeation of the docume to the Steering Staff for the implemeation of the comprehensive scieific map of the coury
I have to say; By the decree of the Preside, the mission of forming the “National Steering Council and National Ceer for Artificial Ielligence” has been assigned to Ruhollah Dehghani, Vice Preside for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
Dark spots of AI draft docume
The draft AI docume has serious dark spots. Apart from its big and broad priorities that the concept of “Priority” and may preve the national focus on a field.
On the other hand, two other importa issues currely leave the coury unanswered. The first problem is the mass migration of elites and people from the coury and the second problem is global sanctions. The only answer preseed in this text to the problem of mass migration is the use of iernational projects. An issue that is directly affected by iernational sanctions and will not necessarily be applicable.
It should be seen what solution the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution will add to this draft and final docume to solve these problems.
