Pakistan: MOITT releases draft National AI Policy and seeks to form Policy Committee
The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications of Pakistan (MOITT) has released a draft for a National Artificial Intelligence Policy (National AI Policy). The draft National AI Policy seeks to build upon the Personal Data Protection Act, the Pakistan Cloud First Policy, and the Digital Pakistan Policy initiatives. The policy aims to provide a framework for long-term awareness and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), and to, among other things:
- establish research and innovation centers for testing and developing AI solutions;
- encourage responsible use of AI;
- increase awareness and understanding of AI amongst the workforce; and
- use national information technology boards to create awareness and offer training programs around responsible AI use.
Additionally, experts in the field of AI from both industry and academia are encouraged to become members of a Policy Committee responsible for finalizing the National AI Policy. Interested experts should provide a profile with their request to [email protected].
