Iran to increase use of AI in military areas: IRGC chief
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran will benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the military fields more in the future while observing moral considerations.
Speaking at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Future Civilization in Tehran on Wednesday, Salami emphasized that the IRGC will benefit greatly from the artificial intelligence in military fields.
Sometimes, “we have to engage in battle with ships at sea. Perhaps, we will increase our use of this capability in the future,” he underlined.
Ships at the great distances, thousands of miles away, turn off their GPS system so that no one can see their current position. These are mobile systems at sea that change the position rapidly, he said, adding that detecting the position is important, and then once they are detected, it is important to know where on a ship you are targeting.
“The advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology allows us to find the desired ship using image matching,” he noted.
The use of Artificial Intelligence is important in all fields, including maritime and land traffic, rescue and relief, healthcare, education and learning, national security, cyber defense, and in all areas, the IRGC chief stressed.
“With artificial intelligence, we have developed technology to strike targets without harming innocents,” Salami said earlier at an event honoring Iranian medical staff who treated Hezbollah members injured in the September 2024 pager attacks.
Salami described the pager attacks as “akin to weapons of mass destruction,” aimed at dismantling morale and creating chaos.
