Sattar Hashemi, Deputy Minister of Communications, on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the 10th Information Technology and Knowledge Conference, which was held at the Research Institute of Communication and Information Technology, poied out the role of artificial ielligence in the economic developme of couries and said: Today, the issue of big data and the volume of data is amazing. It is growing and this concept has been considered as a competitive advaage of couries along with information processing platforms.
Stating that many scieists consider the fourth industrial revolution to be equivale to the age of computing, he said: We are currely witnessing the growth and exchange of information in the age of virtual space, and statistics show that more than 188 million emails are exchanged in the world every minute. At the same time, the amou of downloads of practical applications per minute has been announced at 190,000 times, and it is expected that by the end of 2020, users will generate more than 1.7 megabits of data per second.
Deputy Innovation Minister of Communications, stating that today the issue of artificial ielligence and issues related to processing and deep networks have attracted the atteion of differe couries of the world, said: the influence of artificial ielligence in human life is happening and the eves that are caused by this concept in The world is happening, it can transform many concepts.
He said: For example, the iellige manageme of transportation and traffic is now being done through artificial ielligence tools with the least amou of mistakes. The role of this technology in predicting diseases is also significa.
Hashemi called artificial ielligence one of the main axes of digital transformation and said: sooner or later we will see that self-driving cars will stop the insurance industry or our medical field will be transformed by artificial ielligence. A study by the McKinsey Research Ceer shows that artificial ielligence will replace 30% of the human workforce by 2030, and many industries will use this technology.
He also said about the effects of artificial ielligence in the economy: the share of artificial ielligence in the world economy is expected to be 25.5 trillion dollars by 2030, 10% of which is related to developed Asian couries and 2% of this share is related to the Middle East. Hashemi said: Iran does not have a suitable position in the discussion of being ready to absorb the field of artificial ielligence, and the necessary preparation in this regard is not seen. We do not have the possibility to attract graduates of this field and create an inceive for this departme.
Deputy Minister of Communications coinued: Iran ranks 72nd in the world in readiness to absorb artificial ielligence. He said: With the emphasis of the Minister of Communications on the field of artificial ielligence, it is expected that the direction and strategies of this field will be drawn up in the Research Institute of Communication and Information Technology.
Referring to the challenges of artificial ielligence, Deputy Minister of Communications said: Many of our managers do not have sufficie and necessary familiarity with this field and do not take it seriously. Although good efforts have been made in the field of open data, the statistics and outputs are not good.
Hashemi called lack of atteion to regulations and laws related to artificial ielligence as well as copyright and iellectual property as other challenges in this field and said: lack of processing laboratories is one of the other things that should be taken io accou in this field in the coury. We must solve the need for an information processing platform. He stated: Machine learning speed is faster than humans and if we do not solve these challenges, artificial ielligence will be a serious threat to our iellige systems.
