The unveiling ceremony of the National Schooling Platform of AI was attended by Hossein Afshin, Vice Preside of Science and a group of experts and professors in the Iernational Conference Ceer. At the ceremony, Dr. Hossein Asadi examined Iran’s progress in the field of artificial ielligence over the past decade, referring to the coury’s backwardness to world standards, saying: “While the average global growth in this area was more than 5 %, Iran has only improved 5 % to 5 %.”
He emphasized that insufficie investme and lack of specialized platforms are the two main factors of this backwardness, adding: “With the support of the Scieific Departme, we have tried to develop artificial ielligence -related businesses ecosystem.”

Referring to the importance of the sovereigy and the challenges related to the developme of artificial ielligence systems, he said: “According to the Gartner report, 5 % of artificial ielligence projects in the world fail, which is the main reason for the challenges and lack of appropriate infrastructure.”
