[00:10:49] in the field of artificial intelligence, for example, we are fourteenth
[00:10:53] in two. Or, for example,
[00:10:57] if we are a little negligent and fall asleep,
[00:11:00] we will quickly fall.
[00:11:03] Any nation that today lags behind
[00:11:05] in this field, its fate
[00:11:09] will be the fate of those
[00:11:13] nations that lagged behind
[00:11:16] at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Their fate became
[00:11:19] colonialism, being subordinate,
[00:11:23] became.
[00:11:43] that sits above all technologies. Digital data now has the same status
[00:11:47] as oil wells, and artificial intelligence is the refinery of this data.
[00:11:50] It can only be compared with technologies
[00:11:53] that led to industrial revolutions. If we had steam engines,
[00:11:57] if we had electric
[00:12:00] energy, if we had
[00:12:03] the internet, without a doubt, artificial intelligence
[00:12:07] will shape the future of the world. If we fall behind,
[00:12:10] nothing can be done. That is, once you fall behind, you fall
[00:12:14] behind. In order not to be left behind by this caravan, in the year
[00:12:17] 1400 (2021), when generative artificial intelligence
[00:12:20] in the form of chatbots had not yet entered
[00:12:23] the lives of the general public.
[00:12:29] We must ensure that we are among
[00:12:33] at least
[00:12:35] the top 10 countries in the world in terms of artificial intelligence.
[00:12:39] Today, we are not. If they say we are among the top 10
[00:12:42] countries, we must be in artificial intelligence because their vision
[00:12:46] is that the Islamic Republic of Iran must be among
[00:12:50] the top 10 global powers.
[00:12:53] both in the economy and in the field of technology, and in the field of services to citizens and the comfort of society. After defining the vision for the development
[00:13:02] of artificial intelligence in Iran, studies and efforts
[00:13:06] to draft documents in various institutions became
[00:13:09] more serious. Three or four years ago, we started. If you look
[00:13:13] at the beginning of the song there, if you look at the band,
[00:13:17] it says "artificial intelligence."
[00:13:20] I also underlined it. What does it mean? It means it's over. We
[00:13:23] sent the document.
[00:13:26] They suggested it, of course, in the Cultural Council. It was approved.
[00:13:30] At the time of the approval of the document, Iran's global ranking in artificial intelligence
[00:13:33] had a significant gap with the demands of the Supreme Leader.
[00:13:37] Our ranking in scientific publications
[00:13:40] is between 10 and 13, but
[00:13:44] in the application of artificial intelligence, we are 89th.
[00:13:47] We don't have a national artificial intelligence
[00:13:50] document. The vision set out that by 2025,
[00:13:56] Iran should be one of the top 10 countries in the field
[00:13:59] of artificial intelligence. The National Artificial Intelligence Organization
[00:14:03] was made responsible for leading this field, and the implementation
[00:14:07] phase of this document coincided with the beginning
[00:14:19] and strange scientific innovations
[00:14:23] such as artificial intelligence, for example.
[00:14:27] That happen in the world, we should deal with them
[00:14:30] actively, not passively.
[00:14:33] Deal with them effectively. The Supreme Leader,
[00:14:36] in his first meeting with the new government cabinet,
[00:14:39] explained his definition of an effective approach
[00:14:42] to artificial intelligence in more detail.
[00:14:46] Our various agencies, military and non-military,
[00:14:49] are using artificial intelligence. But this
[00:14:53] should not deceive us.
[00:14:56] In the issue of artificial intelligence, being a user
[00:14:59] is not an advantage.
[00:15:02] This technology has deep layers
[00:15:05] that must be mastered. What do the deep layers
[00:15:09] of artificial intelligence mean? The discussions of
[00:15:13] self-sufficiency, independence,
[00:15:16] competitive advantages
[00:15:19] of artificial intelligence, and generally
[00:15:22] the backbone of artificial intelligence
[00:15:26] target the processing, software, and application
[00:15:29] layers. Such as the field of data,
[00:15:33] such as the field of human resources, such as
[00:15:35] processors. Those layers are
[00:15:38] in the hands of others. If you cannot provide
[00:15:41] the deep and diverse layers
[00:15:45] of artificial intelligence, this technology,
[00:15:48] tomorrow they will create a station
[00:15:52] like the atomic station of the Atomic Agency for artificial intelligence,
[00:15:55] which they are currently preparing,
[00:15:58] so that if you reach that
[00:16:02] station, you must get permission to use artificial intelligence
[00:16:05] in that section. You are not allowed to use it in other sections,
[00:16:09] and they emphasized that preserving and
[00:16:13] strengthening an important capacity for the country's progress
[00:16:16] in the field of artificial intelligence is essential. During the 13th government,
[00:16:20] an organization called the National Artificial Intelligence
[00:16:23] Organization was established under the supervision
[00:16:26] of the President. The National Artificial Intelligence
[00:16:29] Organization was inaugurated with the presence of the acting President
[00:16:32] and the Vice President for Science and Technology.
[00:16:35] It was also a republic
[00:17:07] and was prioritized by the president. However, the implementation process
[00:17:11] of the president's orders in this area by the relevant agencies was not fast enough
[00:17:15] and proceeded with parallel work. In this one year, it could have
[00:17:19] almost been established. It could have done its work.
[00:17:22] It could have fulfilled the tasks assigned to it, but unfortunately,
[00:17:25] it did not progress with such strength. We are witnessing
[00:17:28] that in the global
[00:17:31] artificial intelligence index, our country's
[00:17:34] situation is not favorable in the region.
[00:17:37] If we go back to the amount of investment
[00:17:41] made in this regard, perhaps
[00:17:44] we can find an answer
[00:17:46] for this outcome. In our country,
[00:17:50] less than 50 million dollars has been invested in this regard.
[00:17:54] We were talking to various institutions, from various executive
[00:17:57] institutions to policymaking institutions.
[00:18:00] For example, one institution issues a permit for itself here,
[00:18:04] another makes a decision there, and this one doesn't provide data.
[00:18:12] All of this is because we didn't have
[00:18:15] a centralized authority,
[00:18:19] and as a result, there was no one
[00:18:22] whose inherent mission was to
[00:18:25] develop that technology. It was a mission
[00:18:28] alongside other missions. The work is left undone,
[00:18:31] or no one takes responsibility for it,
[00:18:35] or it finds several owners. We should not
[00:18:39] let artificial intelligence have several owners.
[00:18:42] Artificial intelligence should be centralized,
[00:18:46] powerful, and use all capacities.
[00:18:48] Everyone should follow it. When the law and policy
[00:18:52] are clear, we need to define an executive structure for it,
[00:18:55] appoint a manager, and naturally have
[00:18:59] a program. We should also provide as much funding
[00:19:02] as possible for it. All of this led to us having
[00:19:05] a serious discussion about having a law
[00:19:09] that would both supervise and determine its fate,
[00:19:13] getting out of lawlessness and doing everything on the same
[00:19:16] track. This is how the national artificial intelligence plan,
[00:19:20] in line with the approved document of the Supreme Council
[00:19:24] of Cultural Revolution, was reviewed in the specialized commissions of the parliament
[00:19:27] with the presence and consultation of government representatives.
[00:19:31] It was extensively debated in the open session of the parliament,
[00:19:35] and now, after going through the necessary
[00:19:39] processes, it has become law. We can refer to this
[00:19:42] important issue as the National Artificial Intelligence
[00:19:46] Development Law, which, God willing,
[00:19:49] should complete the notification stages and, God willing,
[00:19:53] be implemented by the executive bodies. When a law
[00:19:55] is passed in parliament, the government is obligated to implement
[00:19:59] it. Its statute must be approved by the government.
[00:20:03] The law has a certain framework, and there is also a fund
[00:20:06] alongside it, which, if implemented correctly,
[00:20:10] can divide the history of the country's technology development
[00:20:14] into before and after it. This 13-article law
[00:20:17] obliges the National Artificial Intelligence Organization, in cooperation with
[00:20:21] various institutions, including the Ministry of Communications,
[00:20:25] the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, and the Ministry
[00:20:28] of Science, to bring Iran into the top 10 countries
[00:20:32] in artificial intelligence in the world. The guidelines of the Supreme Leader
[00:20:36] and the pathology of officials
[00:20:38] have significantly determined the most important responsibility
[00:20:42] of the leading institution for artificial intelligence. Scientific solutions
[00:20:46] can be found for all the country's problems.
[00:20:50] For example, consider the issue of water
[00:20:53] in the country, or the issue of the environment,
[00:20:57] or even the issue of traffic. I actually
[00:21:00] wrote about this central
[00:21:03] issue of artificial intelligence.
[00:21:07] The Supreme Leader said that we should work problem-oriented.
[00:21:10] The discussion we have had repeatedly with various organizations
[00:21:14] over these years is why we are buying GPUs, why we are pouring
[00:21:18] our tax credits into...
[00:21:21] For what problem? In that artificial intelligence document,
[00:21:24] why is our problem system like this? Why, instead
[00:21:28] of focusing on oil and gas and water and our main and key
[00:21:32] issues and setting indicators for them, have we made
[00:21:35] self-driving cars one of the main issues in the document?
[00:21:37] This central issue has been lost.
[00:21:40] The issue we are facing in various fields
[00:21:44] is the applications of artificial intelligence, and we
[00:21:48] feel we are lagging behind.
[00:21:50] In this section, for example, in the oil industry, I need to go
[00:21:54] and see how the world's
[00:21:56] major players in the oil sector, such as Shell and BP,
[00:22:00] have used artificial intelligence in their drilling
[00:22:04] and feasibility studies, and so on. One of the achievements
[00:22:08] of these two wars was an assessment of the state
[00:22:11] of technology, where we need to work more,
[00:22:15] and where we are a bit vulnerable. We are a government
[00:22:18] that wants to have something to say in the world.
[00:22:22] Some goals have been set, but we have not achieved
[00:22:25] those goals in some areas.
[00:22:28] In economic matters, we did not achieve
[00:22:31] what we were supposed to, which was to be first in the region.
[00:22:35] In scientific authority, we have
[00:22:38] some shortcomings. Now, God has provided
[00:22:42] a tool with which we can compensate for all of these
[00:22:45] with speed. Iran's potential
[00:22:49] for rapid progress in artificial intelligence
[00:22:52] is not insignificant, including talented and
[00:22:55] specialized human resources, whose manifestations can be seen
[00:22:59] from an acceptable ranking in artificial intelligence articles to global medal
[00:23:03] wins.
[00:23:09] With the right strategy, coordination, and synergy
[00:23:13] among agencies, and conscious and jihadi management,
[00:23:16] Iran can, in an era where artificial intelligence
[00:27:04] march, Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, and we salute
[00:27:07] all Ansar Allah and the Yemeni people, the Yemen of goodness and blessings.
[00:27:36] Yemen is a factory of leaders and a homeland of heroes.
[00:30:31] pilgrimage visas for the year 1406 (2027) has begun. The Deputy for Hajj
[00:30:35] and Umrah of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization, announcing this news,
[00:30:39] said: With the issuance of the first tracking code for the visa,
[00:30:43] this process has entered the operational stage. According
[00:30:46] to Mr. Rezaei, the tracking code is an initial identification
[00:30:50] code that is issued after uploading pilgrims' passport information
[00:30:53] to the centralized system of the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah,
[00:30:56] and is the main prerequisite for completing the process.
