The specialized event “Finding a career path in the world of artificial intelligence” provided a space to analyze the effects of this emerging technology on people’s lives and the labor market. Specialists such as Dr. Hossein Samati, Dr. Reza Noormohammadi, and Dr. Ramin Khavarzadeh discussed key issues including the development of artificial intelligence, ethical challenges, job opportunities, and the effects of this technology on the future of humans. The event provided a clear picture of where technology is leading us; Where jobs, skills, and even the concept of humanity are being redefined.
Artificial intelligence: creating knowledge from data
Dr. Hossein Samati, one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence in Iran, had a scientific look at the concept of artificial intelligence and its applications at the beginning of this event. He said in his explanation:
“Artificial intelligence is a tool for producing knowledge; Knowledge obtained from data analysis. Just as humans learn from childhood by listening to sounds and observing the environment, artificial intelligence also grows from data. But the fundamental difference is that humans have self-awareness, while artificial intelligence does not benefit from this feature.”
He addressed one of the philosophical challenges in this field:
“One of the important questions is, can artificial intelligence become self-aware? There is some evidence that this is possible, but it still remains at the level of theory. Self-awareness requires the ability to model meanings and continuously adapt to new data, which is currently beyond the reach of artificial intelligence.”
The impact of artificial intelligence on everyday life
Dr. Samti also addressed the more practical aspects of artificial intelligence and said:
“Today, artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our lives; From social networks to big data analytics in large organizations. But challenges such as low accuracy in complex analysis and decision-making limitations still exist.
He also pointed out the difference between artificial intelligence and human intelligence and added:
“Artificial intelligence is very successful in making quick decisions based on past patterns, but it still lacks the ability to reason deeply and create abstract concepts.”
From theory to practice: Dr. Reza Noormohammadi’s experiences in the path of artificial intelligence
Reza Noormohammadi, a postdoctoral graduate from UBC University, spoke about the impact of artificial intelligence on research and industries, referring to his personal experiences. He said:
“For me, artificial intelligence is not only an advanced tool, but also a simulator of the human mind. From simple mathematical models to advanced neural networks, all are trying to mimic human cognitive processes.”
He also addressed the importance of market demand in the development of this technology:
“The development of artificial intelligence depends on market demand. Tools like ChatGPT developed rapidly when the need for intelligent text interactions was felt in the market. It is the demand that determines which technology is developed.”
Noormohammadi also emphasized the role of artificial intelligence in the evolution of daily life:
“Although artificial intelligence makes our work easier, it also brings challenges; Especially in sensitive decisions. For this reason, we need ethical and regulatory frameworks to prevent abuse.”
Artificial intelligence, ethics and decision boundaries
In another part of the event, Ramin Khavarzadeh, a data and artificial intelligence expert, discussed ethical issues related to artificial intelligence. With an example of self-driving cars, he said:
“Imagine a self-driving car in a situation where it has to decide between the lives of its passengers and the lives of pedestrians. “These decisions are not only complex, but also have far-reaching ethical implications.”
He addressed the challenges of AI decision-making:
“Current AI operates on past data and cannot make complex decisions independently. But this does not mean the absence of danger; Because the same data may inadvertently lead to unpredictable results.
The future of employment in the shadow of artificial intelligence
One of the main focuses of the event was the impact of artificial intelligence on employment. Dr. Noormohammadi said:
“Just as the Industrial Revolution destroyed jobs while creating new ones, so will artificial intelligence. But the important thing is how we prepare for this change.”
Ramin Khavarzadeh mentioned the psychological concerns of people in this era and said:
“The main challenge is not the elimination of the job, but the feeling of being useless. “A person who has worked in a job for years may not be able to learn new skills easily, and this sense of worthlessness is a challenge that we need to find a solution for.”
From digital assistant to coexistence with artificial intelligence
Khavarzadeh emphasized the importance of creating symbiosis between humans and artificial intelligence:
“We need to give people the tools to use AI to enhance their abilities. “Artificial intelligence should act as a companion and not a substitute for humans.”
He also addressed the future of human-machine interaction and added:
“Advances in natural language will help humans communicate more easily with artificial intelligence. “This not only increases efficiency, but also helps prevent feelings of worthlessness.”
Artificial intelligence, opportunity or threat?
This event ended with the conclusion of Dr. Hossein Samati:
“Artificial intelligence is a tool that can be used to improve life or create great dangers. But it is our responsibility to use it correctly.”
The event “Finding a career path in the world of artificial intelligence” presented an interesting challenge to think about the future of technology and humans. Will humans be able to establish a balance between the use of artificial intelligence and human values? The answer to this question depends on how we prepare for the future.
