Mustafa Zabet, the director of the AI section, shared that the collection features AI-generated images depicting various Quranic narratives. These include the stories of the Companions of the Cave, Hazrat Zakaria, the Hadith of Kisa, Hazrat Ibrahim, and the historical practice of burying girls alive during the Jahiliyyah.

Interestingly, the creators of these works are not traditional artists or graphic designers, instead, they are individuals who provided descriptions of Quranic stories, which were then transformed into visual art by AI, he said, adding that each image also includes verses related to the depicted story.

Upon entering the exhibition, visitors are first greeted by a gallery of AI-generated Quranic story images. Further into the exhibition, there is a collection of books where each paragraph of a Quranic story is accompanied by an AI-drawn illustration.

The exhibition also features animations that bring Quranic stories to life, Zabet said. “Despite not being created by professional animators, these AI-generated animations are of high quality and are based on narrations of Quranic stories.”

A new addition to the exhibition is an interactive robot that can converse with visitors and create AI-generated drawings based on their requests, he said.

Lastly, the fair introduces an AI school, where anyone interested in this technology can learn more about it and even create their own AI-generated works, according to Zabet.

The event opened its doors at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla on March 20 and runs until April 2.

The fair, which coincides with the Nowruz holidays, invites enthusiasts to explore its offerings daily from 5:00 PM to 00:30 AM local time. It provides a family-friendly atmosphere, ensuring a welcoming space for all ages. The fair also features Iftar tables for visitors to break their fast together following the Maghrib and Isha prayers, fostering a sense of community and shared experience during this blessed month.

The fair features various Quranic institutions and governmental bodies, as well as international participants from 25 countries. It also highlights the issues of Gaza and Palestine and the role of the Quran in inspiring resistance. The fair aims to familiarize people with Quranic concepts through artistic, cultural, and theatrical mediums, especially for children and teenagers. It also offers sections on Nahj al-Balaghah, Quranic research and consultation, Quran translation, and easy Quran memorization.
