TEHRAN (ANA)- The head of the National Park of Soft Sciences, Technologies and Cultural Industries of Iran announced that the artificial intelligence (AI) and creative industries exhibition will be held in Tehran in the next three months.
“This exhibition, which was supposed to be held in Kish, has been moved to Tehran due to some issues and will be held in the next three months,” said Mohammad Imani Khoshkhou.
“All those involved in the field of artificial intelligence are present in its policy-making council,” he added.
Earlier reports said that the International Artificial Intelligence Congress and Exhibition titled Kish AI Vision 2025 was due to be held on Kish Island in the Persian Gulf, in the Southern waters of Iran, during September 2- 5.
Iranian Vice-President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy Hossein Afshin announced in February that the AI has passed the theoretical stage and now is in the operational phase in Iran.
“The AI has been developed in Iran since 2010. This technology was first introduced in self-driving cars, medical guidance systems and traffic management, and today, having passed the theoretical stage, it has entered industrial and operational applications,” Afshin said.
Noting that artificial intelligence is no longer a purely academic subject, he said, “There was a time when only theoretical discussions were raised about artificial intelligence, but today the country is facing a new generation of operational projects in the fields of oil, health, smart cities and industry.”
“This change of direction is the result of targeted investment and the serious entry of creative engineers into this field,” Afshin said.
