14 AI Assistants Delivered to Department of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy

Tehran (IRNA) – Officials from Iran's Department of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy announced that the national AI platform has resumed operations and that 14 AI assistants have been delivered to the organization in the first phase of the project.

According to IRNA's Science Unit, the head of the Center for Steering Knowledge-Based Economy Development Headquarters said during a meeting on the progress of AI assistant projects, attended by Vice President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, Hossein Afshin, that support measures had been taken to ensure the continuation of the project.

Mohammad Bagher Ghaznavi, supervisor of the AI Assistants Project, presented a report on the project's implementation. He said that the universities and companies participating in the initiative began their activities in March 2025 and additional participants have recently joined.

He noted that all active projects have until July 6 to complete their commitments, after which the first phase of the project will be closed.

According to Ghaznavi, the second phase, currently underway, focuses on business intelligence and the modeling of government ministries. This stage involves identifying and modeling ministries' business structures, databases, and information relationships.

One of the project's major technical achievements, he said, was the design and deployment of a single indigenous standard for all projects. The standard is based on the international CRISP-DM framework, and several in-person and virtual workshops have been held to familiarize participants with it.

"The goal was for all universities and project implementers to develop their projects using a common language and a unified framework," he said.

At the end of the first phase, 14 AI assistants, along with their source code and technical documentation, were delivered to the Vice Presidency for Science. Some are already operational, while others remain unused due to insufficient infrastructure, including hosting and stable deployment services.

Ghaznavi also announced the development of a unified system for executing the projects. Rather than focusing on separate software development efforts, the new phase emphasizes data modeling and understanding ministry processes.

A common platform was designed and provided to all participants to upload their data and models. To date, information from 12 project implementers has been integrated into the third version of this system. He described resolving issues related to data ownership and information governance as one of the project's most significant achievements. With cooperation from the Vice Presidency and relevant agencies, effective steps have been taken to establish mechanisms for accessing the data required by the project.

Ghaznavi importantly highlighted that the ultimate goal is to create systems capable of predicting the country's data trends and, eventually, to provide a foundation for developing digital twins of government agencies.
