Iranian VP Unveils 3 Indigenized Artificial Intelligence Systems

The three achievements unveiled today include a system for in-absentia identification named Saha, the first market place in the field of artificial intelligence named Sahab and comprehensive content database in the field of artificial intelligence dubbed Houshiyou.

Addressing the ceremony, Sattari said that Iran enjoys the biggest startups in the region in different fields of ICT and Biotechnology, stressing the need for more investment in the field of artificial intelligence.
