Abstract
Background and Aim: Forecast into the impacts of artificial intelligence in interdisciplinary studies of social sciences with a strategic approach is one of the urgent needs of Iranian society. One of the key areas is to pay attention to the intellectual health and cognitive identity of generations Z, Alpha, and Beta. This area is affected by two trends; one is the state of education governance with the requirements of the era of artificial intelligence and the other is the epistemic model of artificial intelligence technology. These issues occur in the context of gatekeeping and algorithmic power as well as cognitive and value changes, which this article has analyzed using mixed theoretical foundations.
Methods: The method of the article is general futures research with the technique of Horizon Scanning, which focuses on studying existing conditions and changes to predict ongoing or future events and trends with the aim of identifying challenges, opportunities, ensuring awareness, and preventing future surprises.
Ethical Considerations: Aspects related to interests and benefits have been observed. The data are authentic, reliable, trustworthy and non-sensitive.
Findings: The findings of the article have been analyzed and formulated in four axes as follows: 1- The status of knowledge and educational governance in the era of artificial intelligence, 2- Emerging cognitive and educational issues for the new generation, 3- International strategic solutions and actions, and 4- National strategic solutions and actions.
Conclusion: Overall, the results indicate a lack of guarantees for the cognitive health and identity of the new generation. Of course, despite the complexity and layering of the issues, an attempt has been made to realistically explain the infrastructural and content considerations along with cognitive opportunities and challenges. Paying attention to the relationship between scientific identity and artificial intelligence is a vital and key window for educational governance in Iran.
