Abstract

This study aimed to develop a policy framework for artificial intelligence (AI) development aligned with Iran's Seventh Development Plan. It is an applied-developmental study employing a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. An exploratory mixed-methods research design was utilized. Qualitative data were analyzed using grounded theory with Maxqda software, while quantitative data were analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) with Smart PLS software. Findings revealed that, based on the research model, causal conditions (governmental, legal, economic, and social factors) influence the central phenomenon (AI development policy). The central phenomenon, contextual conditions (AI technological and knowledge infrastructure), and intervening conditions (challenges in implementing the national AI document) affect strategies and actions (the national AI document). Ultimately, the national AI document leads to the development of AI's technical and social performance.
