Topic: 2025 – Artificial Intelligence and Resource Consumption
Country: Iran
Delegate Name: Avery Water
The Islamic Republic of Iran believes on the subject of Artificial Intelligence and Resource Consumption that artificial intelligence is essential for the future of Iran and the world as a whole. Iran as a nation has the ultimate goal to be one of the top contenders for AI technological advancements in the next decade. AI is also essential for advancements in military technology, can be used for military grade weapons such as drones and AI-powered guided missiles, utilized for domestic security and Iran’s general effort to prevent and control uprisings or movements within Iranian society.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is willing to work and collaborate with other countries to control and utilize AI to boost or provide leverage for any international relations. Iran’s National Organization of Artificial Intelligence (NOAI), will work and collaborate internationally to allow for greater distribution of required hardware and software to assist in technological advancements related to the growth of AI. Iran recognizes one of the top producers of technology for AI, Nvidia ,is a very important factor in this spread of AI. The NOAI, along with other international organizations, should also attempt to collaborate with Nvidia, an American company that specializes in the creation of AI hardware and software, to increase production and distribution.
Recognizing the fact that ores and minerals needed for AI production are in high demand, Iran has developed and is in the process of developing large mining organizations for essential resources, such as bauxite and iron. Iran has also funded over $115 million for basic research and development.
To assist the increase in the production of AI, Iran is inclined to import and export resources internationally to allow for an overall growth in AI production. Iran will expect resources in return through the establishment of mutually beneficial trade agreements with other nations. Iran is aware of the environmental pressures that excessive ore mining and production of computer chips can have on the environment, such as habitat destruction and loss, food and water contamination, and pollutants in the air, and is willing to collaborate with the delegations within the UNEP to find a temporary solution to the pollution.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will collaborate with this committee in order to find an equitable solution regarding the concerns and details on the subject of Artificial Intelligence and Resource Consumption. Iran will keep the goal of being a top contender in AI production in mind while working with other delegates to communicate with high-priority companies, such as Nvidia, to control AI in a safe and efficient manner.
