A comprehensive look at the development of infrastructure and artificial intelligence applications with the focus of knowledge -based companies

Dr. Hossein Afshin, Vice President of Science, Technology and Economics of the President, presented a report on the measures taken in this area, outlining the vice president’s macro policies to support the national development of artificial intelligence.

Afshin also announced the role of universities in responding to the needs of executive agencies, referring to the implementation of the artificial intelligence project for the government. For example, Amir Kabir University of Technology has been the Ministry of Roads Development Assistant, Tehran University for Oil and Tarbiat Modarres University also operates for the Environment Organization. This approach has also strengthened competition between universities.

The fourteenth government investment jump in artificial intelligence infrastructure

“When the 14th government started, the volume of investment in artificial intelligence was less than $ 1 million,” Afshin said, referring to the growing trend of government support in the area. But in a short period of time, it has increased to several hundred million. This growth continues to focus on indigenous capacity points to reduce technological gap with leading countries.
