He emphasized that in the future, machines will be able to analyze and infer, and this can create new challenges for humans.

Mohammad Hadi Imanieh, the conference chairman, in his speech recalled the history of holding this event every two years since 2013.
He said scientific advances in the field of the human body have increased day by day, and today, genetics and its role in human health have gained special importance, but ethics and spirituality have received less attention in society.
He said the coference is trying to promote spiritual health and moral values while also promoting science.
Imanieh also stated that using artificial intelligence, extensive databases related to the Quran and Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) can be analyzed and used in the field of mental health and spirituality.
