[00:03:04] intelligence articles [00:03:09] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Good afternoon, [00:03:11] agencies, and dear and esteemed compatriots. The government [00:03:15] spokesman said at a press conference that from mid- [00:03:18] Mehr, the value of food coupons for vulnerable [00:03:22] groups will increase. Ms. Mohajerani emphasized that the increase [00:03:25] in the value of food coupons is not related [00:03:29] to the payment of subsidies and other aid. [00:03:33] The government is aware of the price increases [00:03:37] and knows that they exist, and for this reason, the necessary [00:03:40] actions will be taken by the relevant [00:03:43] institutions against profiteering [00:03:46] and hoarding. However, given that it was [00:03:50] the President's promise to increase the food [00:03:54] the depths of coupons in proportion to the inflation, and [00:03:57] he has repeatedly emphasized this issue, and yesterday [00:04:00] he himself announced that there is no doubt [00:04:04] that this will definitely happen. We hope [00:04:07] that from mid-Mehr, we will be able to do this, at least [00:04:11] for our vulnerable groups. Therefore, [00:04:14] for this matter, I emphasize that in [00:04:18] addition to food coupons, livelihood [00:04:21] assistance such as supporting children with malnutrition, [00:04:25] mothers' hope cards, and other plans [00:04:28] of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare to preserve jobs. [00:04:32] All of these are issues that we hope the government [00:04:35] will be able to play [00:04:38] its role properly. [00:04:41] The government spokesman also referred to the daily production [00:04:45] of about 100 to 11 million liters [00:04:48] of gasoline in the country and said: If the government wants to change [00:04:52] out to receive quotas or prices, it will share it with the public [00:04:55] before doing so. Ms. Mohajerani stated that the decision [00:04:58] to eliminate gasoline quotas for new cars [00:05:02] over one billion tomans will also be finalized [00:05:06] after discussion in expert bodies. The government spokesman [00:05:09] referred to the completion of schools damaged by the imposed war with the help of benefactors and said: [00:05:14] Out of 128 schools damaged in the war, [00:05:17] only 36 schools have not been delivered. Ms. Mohajerani [00:05:20] also referred to the pressure of sanctions and some [00:05:23] restrictions and said: Reducing dependence on oil and strengthening [00:05:27] trade with neighbors is on [00:05:29] the agenda. [00:05:32] The commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force said: We must [00:05:36] preserve the greatness and glory of the people's [00:05:40] uprising in the streets with unity and sacred [00:05:43] solidarity in all matters. In a message on the eve of the 22nd [00:05:47] night of the Iranian nation's uprising and their [00:05:50] presence in the squares and streets, Sardar Mousavi [00:05:53] called this nocturnal uprising a cause of amazement [00:05:57] and wonder for the world. The commander of the IRGC Aerospace [00:06:00] Force emphasized that this conscious presence shows [00:06:04] the national rationality, high religious values, [00:06:07] and prominent national culture and civilization [00:06:11] of Iranians to the people of the world, [00:06:14] and is a reliable and encouraging support [00:06:18] for the fighters of Islam in all defense [00:06:21] fronts of the country, especially in the IRGC [00:06:24] Aerospace Force, to protect [00:06:25] the Islamic Iran and avenge our martyred Imam. [00:06:28] The military training courses of Jan Fada [00:06:31] will start soon. The spokesman of the Jan Fada [00:06:35] Iran popular headquarters announced that the Iranian [00:06:38] nation can register for these courses [00:06:42] by visiting janfada.IR or sending the number [00:06:45] 1 to [00:06:47] 3015 from 5 PM today. [00:06:51] A thousand battalions [00:06:54] of popular national resistance will be [00:06:57] formed, God willing. A thousand popular relief [00:07:01] and rescue units that have coordinated [00:07:05] with the armed forces and the agencies in [00:07:09] charge of the relief sector, so that we [00:07:12] can hopefully make better use of this capacity. [00:07:15] priority will definitely be given to those [00:07:18] who register earlier. [00:07:22] The body of the 70% disabled martyr Mohammad [00:07:25] Hossein Bashi Asterki was laid to rest [00:07:29] in Tehran in the presence of various groups of people. The body of this [00:07:32] martyr was transferred to plot 26 [00:07:36] of the Behesht Zahra Martyrs' Cemetery after the funeral. This [00:07:39] eulogist of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) [00:07:45] and fighter during the Holy Defense was wounded [00:07:49] in his eyes, hands and feet in operation [00:07:52] 145 and became a disabled veteran. The University of Applied [00:07:56] Sciences announced the extension of the registration deadline for the associate [00:07:59] and undergraduate entrance exam of this [00:08:03] university. Applicants have until 24:00 on [00:08:06] Thursday, September 26, to visit the website [00:08:10] of the Measurement Organization at sanjesh.org [00:08:16] or the university's website. In the extended [00:08:20] period, applicants can also edit their information. [00:08:24] The Director General of Education of Tehran [00:08:28] advised parents of students to finalize the registration [00:08:31] of their children as soon as [00:08:34] possible. Unfortunately, registration has not [00:08:38] been completed for over 90%, I think 91%. [00:08:49] Dear students and parents, please register and order [00:08:52] textbooks as soon as possible so that [00:08:56] the school can have a better and more [00:08:59] accurate plan. [00:09:02] The cheese-making workshop in Tazeh Shahr, Salmas, [00:09:06] is one of the oldest traditional cheese producers [00:09:09] in the country, and its custodians continue [00:09:13] to produce after a century [00:09:15] of family activity. [00:09:19] Cheese with the age of history. This [00:09:22] is Tazeh Shahr, Salmas, where cheese is produced [00:09:26] in a completely traditional way. We buy two [00:09:29] tons of milk every day. We make 200 [00:09:33] kg of Tabrizi cheese. We invested 100 [00:09:36] million. We have 6 cheese workers. I have [00:09:39] been working here for 45 years. Cheese is one of the oldest [00:09:43] human foods. And today, it is produced and [00:09:47] consumed in over 400 different types. However, [00:09:50] in this complex, there is no industrial production [00:09:54] line. Milk is processed traditionally, and cheese [00:09:57] is stored in special cellar conditions. The cold [00:10:01] and humidity here are also provided in [00:10:05] the old way by storing ice. To produce [00:10:08] one kilogram of cheese using this method, almost [00:10:13] twice as much milk is used as in [00:10:16] industrial methods. The production site of Salmas red [00:10:20] cheese has been registered in the list of [00:10:23] national heritage sites of Iran due to [00:10:27] its age and type of architecture, and is [00:10:31] 150 years old. With the development of this [00:10:34] cheese production, it will create new [00:10:38] jobs in Salmas. In this complex, even the [00:10:41] red color on some cheeses is added [00:10:45] during packaging [00:11:22] Today, for example, [00:11:25] they showed that in the field of artificial [00:11:29] intelligence, for example, we are 14th in [00:11:32] the world. If we neglect even a [00:11:35] little and fall asleep, we will [00:11:38] fall rapidly. Any nation that [00:11:41] falls behind in this field today, [00:11:45] its fate will be the fate [00:11:48] of those nations that fell behind [00:11:51] at the beginning of the industrial [00:11:54] revolution. They became colonized. They became [00:11:58] subservient. They remained poor. They became [00:12:01] humiliated. This means that the [00:12:04] Ministry of Health and Medical Education [00:12:08] will lose control if it doesn't [00:12:10] do its job. Industry will lose [00:12:14] control. Agriculture will lose control. The [00:12:17] university will lose control. Artificial intelligence [00:12:20] is a super technology that sits [00:12:24] above all technologies. Digital data [00:12:26] are now like oil wells, and artificial [00:12:30] intelligence is the refinery for this [00:12:33] data. This can only be compared [00:12:36] to technologies that led to industrial [00:12:40] revolutions. If we had the steam [00:12:43] engine, if we had electricity, if we [00:12:47] had the internet, without a doubt, [00:12:50] artificial intelligence will shape the future [00:12:53] of the world. If we fall behind, [00:12:57] there is nothing we can do. When [00:13:00] you fall behind, you fall behind. To avoid being left [00:13:04] behind in this [00:13:06] caravan, in [00:13:08] 2021, when generative artificial intelligence [00:13:12] in the form of chatbots had not yet [00:13:16] entered the lives of ordinary people, [00:13:20] the martyred Leader of the Revolution [00:13:22] set a clear [00:13:25] vision: We must work to ensure [00:13:29] that we are among the top 10 [00:13:32] countries in the world in artificial intelligence. [00:13:36] We are not today. If he [00:13:40] says we should be among the [00:13:43] top 10 countries in artificial intelligence, [00:13:47] it is because his vision is [00:13:50] that the Islamic Republic of Iran [00:13:52] must be among [00:14:05] the ten great global powers in [00:14:08] the economic field, in the technological [00:14:12] field, and in the field of services [00:14:16] to citizens and the well-being of society. [00:14:19] After defining the vision for the [00:14:22] advancement of artificial intelligence in Iran, [00:14:26] studies and efforts for document writing [00:14:29] in various institutions became more serious [00:14:33] 3-4 years ago. We started there. [00:14:36] If you look at that passage, [00:14:40] if you look [00:14:54] intelligence had a significant gap with [00:14:58] the demand of the martyred Leader of [00:15:01] the Revolution. Our ranking in scientific [00:15:04] publications is between 10 and 13, [00:15:07] but in the application of artificial intelligence, [00:15:10] our ranking is 89. We don't [00:15:13] even have a national artificial intelligence [00:15:17] document. The vision outlined that by [00:15:20] 2033, Iran must be one of the [00:15:24] top 10 countries in artificial intelligence. [00:15:28] The National Artificial Intelligence Organization [00:15:31] became responsible for leading this field, [00:15:34] and the implementation phase of this document [00:15:39] coincided with the beginning of the [00:15:42] 14th government. May Allah bless [00:15:46] Muhammad and the family [00:15:49] of Muhammad. [00:15:52] This was a good job, but [00:15:55] it was left unfinished. Now, if [00:15:59] that organization continues its work under [00:16:03] the President himself, there is great [00:16:06] hope that this work will proceed [00:16:10] as mentioned. The activities of the National [00:16:13] Artificial Intelligence Organization, which was among [00:16:17] the emphases of Dr. Pezeshkian during [00:16:20] his presidential candidacy, were [00:16:23] prioritized by the President. However, [00:16:27] the process of implementing the President's [00:16:30] directives in this regard in the [00:16:33] relevant agencies did not have sufficient [00:16:37] speed and proceeded with parallel work. [00:16:40] In this one year, it could [00:16:44] have almost been established and carried [00:16:48] out its tasks and fulfilled the [00:16:51] duties assigned to it, but unfortunately, [00:16:54] it did not proceed with this [00:16:58] strength. We are witnessing that in [00:17:01] the discussion of the global artificial [00:17:05] intelligence index, our country's situation [00:17:18] the amount of investment made in [00:17:22] this regard, we may be able [00:17:25] to find an answer for this [00:17:29] outcome. In our country, less than [00:17:33] 50 million dollars has been invested [00:17:36] in this regard. We used to [00:17:40] talk to various institutions, from [00:17:43] various executive institutions to [00:17:47] regulatory institutions, security institutions, [00:17:51] military institutions, and we know [00:17:55] that everyone is playing their [00:17:58] own tune. For example, someone [00:18:01] gives a permit [00:18:04] here, someone makes a decision [00:18:08] there, this one doesn't give data. [00:18:11] All of this is because [00:18:14] we did not have a centralized [00:18:17] authority, and as a result, [00:18:21] there was no one whose inherent [00:18:24] mission was the development of [00:18:27] that technology. It was a mission [00:18:30] alongside other missions. [00:18:34] Artificial intelligence must be centralized [00:18:38] in one place, powerful, [00:18:41] and use all capacities. We must [00:18:45] all follow it. When the [00:18:48] law and policy are clear, we [00:18:52] must define an executive structure for it, appoint [00:18:55] a manager, and naturally have a [00:18:59] plan. We will also allocate [00:19:02] funds for it as much [00:19:05] as possible. All of these factors [00:19:19] led to a serious discussion [00:19:22] about having a law that both [00:19:25] supervises and determines the fate [00:19:28] of artificial intelligence, getting it out [00:19:32] of lawlessness, and putting everyone [00:19:35] on the same track. Thus, [00:19:39] the National Artificial Intelligence Project, [00:19:42] in line with the approved document [00:19:46] of the Supreme Council of Cultural [00:19:50] Revolution, was discussed in the [00:19:54] specialized committees of the Parliament [00:19:57] with the presence and consultation of [00:20:01] government representatives. It was extensively [00:20:05] discussed in the plenary session of [00:20:08] the Parliament, and now, after going [00:20:11] through the necessary procedures, it has [00:20:15] become a law. We can call [00:20:19] this important issue the National [00:20:22] Artificial Intelligence Development Law, which [00:20:25] will hopefully go through the stages [00:20:29] of promulgation and be implemented by [00:20:32] the executive bodies. When it becomes [00:20:36] a law in the Parliament, the government [00:20:40] is obliged to implement it. Its [00:20:43] statute must be approved by the [00:20:47] government. The law has a set [00:20:53] of rules. There is also a fund next to it, [00:20:55] which, if implemented correctly, can divide [00:20:59] the history of the country's technology [00:21:03] development into before and after itself. [00:21:06] This law. Article 1 of the [00:21:10] National Artificial Intelligence Organization obliges [00:21:13] it, in cooperation with various institutions, [00:21:17] including the Ministry of Communications, the [00:21:21] Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology, and [00:21:24] the Ministry of Science, to bring [00:21:28] Iran into the top 10 artificial [00:21:32] intelligence countries in the world. [00:21:36] The guidance of the martyred [00:21:38] Leader of the Revolution and the [00:21:42] pathology of officials and experts have [00:21:46] largely clarified the most important responsibility [00:22:01] of the governing body of artificial intelligence. [00:22:05] Scientific solutions can be found for all [00:22:08] the country's problems. For example, the [00:22:12] water problem in the country, or [00:22:15] the environmental problem, or even the [00:22:19] traffic problem. I wrote about the [00:22:23] central issue of artificial intelligence [00:22:26] under this problem. The martyred Leader [00:22:28] said that we should work problem-centered. [00:22:31] The discussion we have had repeatedly [00:22:35] with various organizations in recent years [00:22:39] is about why we have not [00:22:42] addressed oil, gas, water, and our [00:22:46] main and key issues and set [00:22:50] indicators for them, but instead, we [00:22:53] have put autonomous vehicles as one [00:22:56] of the main issues in the [00:23:00] document. This central issue has been [00:23:03] lost. The problem we are facing [00:23:06] in various fields is the applications [00:23:10] where we feel we are behind. [00:23:13] For example, in the oil industry, [00:23:17] I need to go and see [00:23:20] how the world's oil giants, like [00:23:24] Shell and BP, have used artificial [00:23:27] intelligence in their drilling and feasibility [00:23:31] studies, and so on. One of [00:23:34] the achievements of [00:23:36] these two wars [00:23:42] was an assessment of my technological [00:23:46] situation, where we need to work [00:23:50] harder. In some areas, we are [00:23:53] somewhat vulnerable. We are a government [00:23:57] that wants to have a say [00:24:00] in the world. [00:28:06] Some goals have [00:28:10] we have not achieved them in [00:28:14] some areas. In economic issues, we [00:28:17] have not achieved what was planned [00:28:21] for us to be first in [00:28:24] the region. In scientific authority, [00:28:28] we have some backwardness. Now, God [00:28:31] has given us [00:28:40] a tool with which we can [00:28:43] compensate for all of this with [00:28:46] speed. Iran's potential capacities for rapid [00:28:50] progress in artificial intelligence are not [00:28:54] few, including talented and specialized [00:28:57] human resources, whose manifestations can be [00:29:01] seen from acceptable ranks in artificial [00:29:06] to international medals. With a [00:29:09] correct strategy, coordination, and synergy among [00:29:14] vigilant and jihadi management, Iran can [00:29:17] be among the top 10 artificial [00:29:19] intelligence countries in the world [00:29:22] in an era when artificial [00:29:26] intelligence is defining the boundaries of [00:29:29] superpower and continuous development. It is [00:29:47] one of the superpowers. Now, at these moments, our heroes and crowns [00:29:50] of our heads, the prisoners, arrive. [00:29:53] They emerge from [00:29:57] prisons and the aggressors' detention [00:30:00] centers like fierce [00:30:10] lions, with their heads held high [00:30:14] and their foreheads gleaming. Praise be [00:30:16] to Allah, the Lord of the [00:30:20] Worlds, for the safety of these [00:30:23] heroic mujahideen. They are now arriving [00:30:27] in Sanaa, to their families, to [00:30:31] their households, to their relatives, among [00:30:34] their people. They emerge steadfast [00:30:38] like towering mountains, despite [00:30:41] the torture by their jailers. Let [00:30:44] the world be adorned, let the [00:30:47] world rejoice! O people of wisdom [00:30:51] and faith, come [00:30:55] these heroic prisoners, [00:30:57] who have emerged by the grace
