Comparing the position of Iran and other countries in the field of using artificial intelligence

Until some time ago, “artificial intelligence” was known as an emerging technology that only a certain part of society, including IT professionals, data engineers, and activists in the scientific and academic fields interacted with; But it can be said that we passed the encounter and acquaintance stage with a remarkable speed and today we are in the development and competition period to gain a better position in the field of intelligence. Many people have turned to using artificial intelligence in their daily lives, and countless businesses are using the capabilities of this technology to optimize their processes.

In such a situation, knowing the position of the country and research centers is of particular importance and can determine our future direction and strategies. According to Hoshio, quoted by Mehr News Agency, Dr. Mohammad Shahram Moin, the head of the Innovation Center for the Development of Artificial Intelligence of the Communication and Information Technology Research Institute, announced during an interview: According to the latest reviewed results, in terms of articles and science production in the field of artificial intelligence, Iran ranks The fifteenth holds the world; But in the field of using artificial intelligence in life and technology, our rank has remained intact since two years ago and we are still in the 77th place in the world.

The need to upgrade Iran’s rank through planning

Pointing out that the use of technology is not only limited to the production of articles and documents, Moin added: the use of artificial intelligence includes the introduction of this technology into the daily lives of people and the governance of the country’s administration, and according to the plans being compiled and special attention given to This is technology, our ranking will definitely improve in the coming years.

He went on to increase the number of specialized and university-educated personnel and noted: We have a lot of capability in the field of specialized personnel and academic power; But in order to be able to operate at the national level and on large governmental, organizational and institutional projects, or to develop projects like the national GPT, more efforts are still needed.

Compilation of the national artificial intelligence development program is the next focus of the discussion and in this context, he states: In order to strengthen and develop artificial intelligence, very good activities have been carried out in the private sector, but this program must be strengthened and with the entry of more private sectors, processing infrastructure, quality Services and data volume will increase. As emphasized in the 7th Development Plan, various organizations and institutions should present their intelligentization programs in the real sense and not just be limited to electronicization. This means that the position of intelligent systems in the collections should be determined and they should plan and invest in it. The total of these processes will increase Iran’s ranking in the world in the field of artificial intelligence.

At the end, Moin examined the ranking of Iranian universities in the field of artificial intelligence and stated: Currently, Tehran University is ranked 73rd in Asia and 249th in the world. Shirvan is ranked 74th in Asia and 250th in the world.
