Artificial Intelligence Staff is responsible for facilitating and cohesion of this area

At the first meeting of the Specialized Committee of Artificial Intelligence, which was held on July 9, with the presence of the Vice President of Science and representatives of various agencies at the Vice President, the role of facilitation and coherence of the headquarters in the process of artificial intelligence development was emphasized. The Vice President of Science announced that none of the devices should restrict others in the national division of artificial intelligence. He also added that the goal of the staff is to help promote the executive plans of the devices in the area.

The headquarters was formed by the President’s order and the approval of the Cabinet and its presidency was assigned to the first vice president. The vice president explained that meetings will be held in the form of specialized committees with the participation of various agencies before the main sessions of the headquarters were held to review and summarize artificial intelligence topics with an operational approach.

The meeting also referred to the National Artificial Intelligence Development Program previously prepared by the Planning and Budget Organization and within the framework of the Seventh Development Plan. According to Article 7 of the Seventh Schedule Act, the government is obliged to formulate a national program for the development of artificial intelligence. It is planned to review the program in the Artificial Intelligence Headquarters and to consider the views of the private sector, knowledge -based companies and executive agencies. The scientific deputy named the program as the country’s roadmap in the development of artificial intelligence technology and emphasized that all devices should be active in the process of editing, as it would not be accountable for a national program.

Following the session, the head of the Center for the Development of the Knowledge Economics Development Center was the main purpose of the meeting to introduce the national platform of artificial intelligence and to examine the structure and functions of the specialized staff working groups. He explained that these working groups will be formed under the headquarters to use collective wisdom and operational development of artificial intelligence activities so that the Artificial Intelligence Headquarters can play an effective role in the future of artificial intelligence technology.

Following the meeting of the Special Committee on Technology Development and the Application of Artificial Intelligence, the importance of applying this technology to the growth of knowledge -based economy was emphasized. The head of the Knowledge Economics Development Center said that supporting the private sector and knowledge -based companies and utilizing artificial intelligence capacities to increase productivity in different sectors is one of the main approaches of the Scientific, Technology and Knowledge Economics Department. According to him, the development of the national platform of artificial intelligence has also been carried out.

Further, the representative of the National AI and Professor of Sharif University of Technology, while introducing the platform, cited its advantages as speeding up to develop systems, reducing costs due to resource constraints, scalability and ease of use for different users. He categorized users of the platform into four professional, public, individual and organizational groups. So far, five universities have been involved in the development of modules on the platform, and four knowledge -based companies have been added to the project to complete it. The Vice President of Science has also put the support for these companies.

In the second part of the meeting, the proposed structure of the specialized committees of the Artificial Intelligence staff was introduced. These committees were divided into four main areas, including “policy making and regulations”, “education, research and technology”, “infrastructure, data and security” and “ecosystem development and applications”. In the field of policymaking, axes such as regulatory regulation, formulation of standards and technical frameworks, comparative reviews of global policy, and legal issues of smart tools are on the agenda.

In the field of education and research, measures such as guiding technological projects, scientific cooperation with universities and research institutions, future trends analysis, and promoting culture and public literacy have been taken into consideration. In the area of infrastructure and security, the focus has been on national infrastructure, cyber security, data protection and legal dimensions related to artificial intelligence production. The development of ecosystem and artificial intelligence applications in areas such as industry, health, intelligent government and other priority areas have been introduced as the main task of the Fourth Committee.

At the end of the meeting, representatives of the various agencies expressed their views on the national platform of artificial intelligence and the proposed structure of specialized committees.
