Dr. Seyed Kamal Kharrazi emphasized, “Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just automating tasks or augmenting industries—it is reshaping human cognition and redefining governance. The next few decades will see the fusion of human intelligence with AI capabilities, creating new paradigms for governance and public administration.”
Governance in the Age of AI
Dr. Kharrazi discussed the role of AI in predicting crises and better resource management, stating, “Predictive governance will transform governments from reactive entities to dynamic systems that continuously adjust based on predictive insights, enabling them to identify and manage crises before they occur.”
He also addressed the challenges of the digital divide and inequality, noting, “AI presents a unique opportunity to bridge social and economic gaps. This technology can ensure equitable access to healthcare, education, and financial services.”
Transformation in Infrastructure and Education
In part of his speech, Dr. Kharrazi highlighted the importance of AI in smart infrastructure planning and improving the quality of education, emphasizing, “AI can reduce disparities between urban and rural education systems and provide equal opportunities for all through personalized learning.”
The Need for Ethical and International Frameworks
In another part of his speech, Dr. Kharrazi stressed the need for ethical frameworks to prevent the misuse of AI, stating, “The UN may need to establish dedicated AI governance councils to oversee ethical AI deployment in international decision-making.”

Analysis of China’s Initiative to Advance Nuclear Talks
Strategic Council Online – Dialogue: An expert on China said that if Iran gains a clear understanding of China’s global initiatives in the area of security, it can enter into good interactions with Beijing to resolve the nuclear issue. This is because China is interested in creating a new initiative in the Iranian nuclear issue that, although based on the JCPOA, creates a new framework for cooperation and interaction between the parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
