Mohammad Mehdi AsadiCEO of Ide Tejarat Hermes Company and the organizer of Iran’s first iernational artificial ielligence exhibition, says that the coury’s main challenge in this field is not the lack of knowledge and manpower, but the lack of a cohere decision-making and implemeation system in new technologies; A weakness that can turn AI’s great opportunities io threats.
Global turn from theory to product
In the press conference of this eve, referring to the studies conducted before the design of the exhibition, Esadi said that the review of the most importa artificial ielligence eves in the world during the last two years shows that the global focus has changed from purely theoretical meetings to the display of real capabilities, products and practical solutions.
According to him, although the conferences have a guiding role, it is the exhibitions that bring the technology io action; A link that has been less addressed in the Iranian technology ecosystem.
Holding Iran’s first iernational artificial ielligence exhibition
According to the announceme of the managing director of the organizing company, Iran’s first iernational artificial ielligence exhibition with the support of the Trade Developme Organization and Tehran Iernational Exhibitions Company will be held from January 22 to 25 at Tehran Iernational Exhibitions.
The global picture of AI; More productivity with less cost
Citing iernational data, Esdi explained that between 2023 and 2024, the quality and efficiency of artificial ielligence models has increased noticeably, and on the other hand, the cost of developing and using this technology has decreased.
He added that the United States is still the main investme player in this field and has a significa distance with China and Europe; While the amou of organizational use of artificial ielligence in leading couries has grown more than three times.
Iran’s focus on tale; Neglect of governance
According to Esadi, compared to some couries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, Iran has grown more in the field of human resources and knowledge production, but it faces challenges in policymaking, governance and implemeation.
He emphasized that holding this exhibition can help to create coordination between differe actors and prepare the coury for a more serious ery io the field of artificial ielligence.
Artificial ielligence will not wait for us
The CEO of Ide Tejarat Hermes warned against the loss of opportunities and said that although Iran is not behind scieifically, weakness in executive and decision-making systems can cause the loss of this historical opportunity. An opportunity that will be very expensive to compensate for in the future.
The exhibition focuses on five key issues
According to Esadi, Iran’s first iernational artificial ielligence exhibition focuses on providing practical solutions for the coury’s five basic challenges: environme, energy, health, security and education; With the aim of concretely demonstrating the role of AI in solving real problems.
From infrastructure to creative industries
The focus of this exhibition will include infrastructure and basic technologies of artificial ielligence, ielligeization of industries, emerging technologies, urban and social solutions, creative industries and indigenous innovations.
Smart platform and iernational ieractions
Esdi announced the design of a dedicated web application for this eve, which offers services such as registration, receiving QR Code, planning eves, buying tickets and holding B2B meetings in an iellige way.
According to him, about 40 foreign guests will attend the exhibition and B2B meetings will be held as scheduled.
Special support for knowledge bases
The managing director of the organizing company announced that with the cooperation of Innovation and Prosperity Fund, discous between 70 and 90 perce will be considered for knowledge-based companies, and programs such as demo, hackathon and specialized eves in the field of smart city and creative industries will also be held.
Two specialized stages and several exhibition halls
At the end, Esadi said that this exhibition has two specialized stages for panels, specialized eves and hackathons and will be held in halls 8, 9, 10, 11 and 25 of Tehran Iernational Exhibitions.
According to the organizer of Iran’s first iernational artificial ielligence exhibition, the future of AI in the coury is tied to decision-making, governance and effective implemeation rather than knowledge and tale. The gap that this exhibition was to highlight and provide a solution for.
