Iraq and Iran start AI cooperation: new opportunities for students!

If Iraq and Iran want to expand their academic relationships, the signs are on cooperation, especially in the rapidly growing area of artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, Yasser Abdul Zahra al-Hajjaj, the cultural attaché of Iraq in Tehran, has expressed his interest in deepening the collaboration with the Islamic Azad University. At a meeting with Chancellor Bijan Ranjbar, the soft set up to start joint projects in fields such as AI, quantum science and life sciences. Curious how it is going on? Tehran Times reports that there are already two Iranian universities in Iraq.

A central point of this initiative is the foundation of a common AI center in Iran. The proposal was received by Iraqi officials with open arms. Both sides agree that the strengthening of common technologies should also deepen the relationship between the two countries. But that's not all: the planned center should act not only for the two countries, but also for the surrounding states of the Persian Golf and operate them as a AI hob.

Future of the AI in the field of education

The focus on AI is not limited to Iraq and Iran. In the education sector worldwide, the potential of AI is increasingly being discussed. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has started initiatives to examine the role of AI in schools. Not only the benefits, but also the need for further training for teachers: inside. Every technical development also brings risks and it is important to consider it. Information about the current state of AI in schools and future possibilities can be found on the platform of [empirical education research] (https://www.empirische-bildungforschung-bmbf.de/de/begreitpronzungs-kunst-intelligenz-im-bildungen- und2274.html).

The cancellation of the sanctions and the signing of the Vienna Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) in 2016 opened the doors for the resumption of science and research cooperation between Germany and Iran. This shows great potential for German-Iranian research cooperation, especially in civilian research areas. Nevertheless, the political situation in Iran remains tense, which initially dampens the practicality of such cooperation. According to the Cooperation International, however, cooperation in the areas of research and education is still desirable.

With the planned AI center and the initiatives in the education sector, a new wind could blow. The interaction between research projects and academic training is becoming increasingly important. The question is: How will the participating institutions integrate the new technologies to support teachers and students: to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow?

In the world of technology and education, time has already come to action. Who knows, maybe we will soon experience how the close cooperation between Iraq and Iran not only expands academic horizons, but also leads the entire region to new technological heights.
