Artificial ielligence in the publishing industry: a new evolution in user experience
One of the ieresting parts of the panel was the investigation of artificial ielligence applications in the publishing industry. Amir Behdani, the CEO of Fidibo, gave explanations referring to his company’s experiences in using artificial ielligence to improve user experience.
“Fidibo, as one of the largest digital book platforms in Iran, is coinuously trying to use artificial ielligence to improve its services,” Behdani said. One of Fidibo’s importa initiatives in this field is to provide a service that allows users to simultaneously listen to audio books while reading the text. This technology will create a richer user experience and allow users to ieract with coe in new and more attractive ways.”
In addition, Behdani poied to other applications of artificial ielligence in the publishing industry and said: “This technology can be used in analyzing user behavior, predicting their ierests and needs, optimizing book pricing processes, and even improving the quality of translations.”
Behdani particularly emphasized the importance of data analysis to better understand users’ needs and provide appropriate suggestions. He added: “Artificial ielligence can allow publishers to produce coe that has the greatest impact on audiences based on more accurate data and analytics.”
the future of artificial ielligence; Opportunities and threats
One of the key topics of the panel was the future of artificial ielligence and how to exploit it in Iran and the world. In this section, Shamsapour and Salehov answered the question of what opportunities and threats await differe societies in the field of artificial ielligence.
Shamsapour especially meioned the impact of artificial ielligence in solving major global problems such as climate change, environmeal crises and social inequality. He said: “This technology can play an importa role in reducing energy consumption, optimizing the use of natural resources, and even helping to treat diseases.”
On the other hand, Salehov poied out the impact of artificial ielligence on the labor market and employme and added: “Although artificial ielligence can lead to the creation of new and specialized jobs, at the same time, it will bring threats to old and repetitive jobs.”
According to him, in the future, many jobs that are somehow related to repetitive and predictable activities will be replaced by artificial ielligence systems. But these changes can lead to the creation of new and specialized job opportunities in differe fields.
Legal and governance challenges in artificial ielligence
Discussing legal and governance challenges in the field of artificial ielligence, especially in Iran, was another importa focus of the panel. Shamsapour poied out this poi and said: “One of the biggest challenges in the field of using artificial ielligence is the lack of clear legal frameworks.”
“For the effective exploitation of this technology, it is necessary to have laws that monitor the use of data, protect privacy and preve possible abuses,” he said. “Without such laws, the use of artificial ielligence may face serious problems in the field of information security and violation of civil rights.”
Developme of artificial ielligence in Iran: planning and necessary measures
In the coinuation of the speech, one of the salie pois raised in the panel was that while Iran has considerable poteial in some areas such as natural language processing and machine learning, in order to improve the overall state of this technology in the coury, more infrastructural measures and synergies are needed. between public and private institutions.
The experts prese in the panel believed that one of the main priorities should be to strengthen the educational and research environme in the coury. Iran should seek to establish advanced research ceers and support startups in the field of artificial ielligence more than in the past.
One of the importa pois raised by Amir Mohammad Saleh was that Iran badly needs to strengthen its hardware infrastructure. According to him, many Iranian companies that operate in the field of artificial ielligence are facing serious challenges in the field of providing the necessary hardware.
“The use of powerful processors, advanced graphics cards and specialized servers can help researchers and startups build more complex models and impleme larger projects,” he coinued.
iernational cooperation; A necessity for success
Shamsapour also poied out the importance of iernational cooperation in the field of artificial ielligence and said: “In order for Iran to progress in this field, it must actively participate in iernational projects.” These collaborations can be done in the form of partnerships with universities, research ceers and foreign technology companies. “Especially in a situation where economic and political restrictions may affect some business relationships, scieific and research collaborations can be a good way to transfer knowledge and technology.”
