Iran prioritizes using AI for cyber defense, says defense official

Tehran, IRNA – The head of Iran's Civil Defense Organization has said that the Islamic Republic of Iran prioritizes using artificial intelligence (AI) for cyber defense and ensuring security in infrastructure.

Referring to the cyber threats and abusing AI capacities during last year’s riots in the country, Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said on Sunday that Iran's high priority is using AI in confronting cyber movements and ensuring security in infrastructures.

In this regard, efforts to use the capacity of knowledge-based companies have been on the agenda of the Civil Defense Organization of the country, he added.

Iran's Civil Defense Organization has set out media attachments in the fields of cyber and biological defense, he said, adding that the purpose is to create unity in informing and making calmness for the protection of mental health of public opinion against the enemies' propaganda over the country’s internal affairs.

The unrest followed the death of a young Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, who died in hospital on September 16 last year, days after she collapsed at a police station in Tehran. Iran’s Legal Medicine Organization issued a report, saying Amini's death was caused by prior illness rather than alleged blows to her head.

The protests were peaceful at first, but soon turned violent. Steered by foreign intelligence services and their hostile media outlets, rioters began fatally attacking security forces and indulging in vandalism acts against public property in several cities.
