Iranian government implements national programme to develop artificial intelligence

Acting Iranian President Mohammad Mokhber has instructed government agencies to start implementing a national programme for artificial intelligence development. This is reported by the Tehran Times, a partner of TV BRICS.

In December 2023, the Iranian president issued a decree to establish a "National Steering Committee and the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Center." The science and technology headquarters was tasked with developing the document in conjunction with ministries and executive authorities, utilising the resources and expertise of universities and research institutes.

The first national conference on artificial intelligence (AI) in education and training is scheduled to be held in Tehran on October 9. The main goal of the event is to raise public awareness of modern technologies and their application in education and training systems.
