Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication Pakistan (MoITT) is the national focal Ministry and enabling arm of the Government of Pakistan for planning, coordinating, and directing efforts to initiate and launch Information Technology and Telecommunications programs and projects aimed at economic development of the country.
MOITT desired to evaluate the scope of AI in global and local perspective in relation to Pakistan’s planned transition towards technology driven knowledge economy. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various aspects of our lives, including healthcare, transportation, education, and more. There was a dire need for a national AI policy that provides a strategic direction for AI development and implementation in Pakistan.
The National AI Policy of Pakistan aims to ensure that AI development and implementation are ethical, responsible, and aligned with a country’s economic and national security interests.
