Pakistan emphasizes the promotion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and global cooperation
Pakistan recently reiterated its support for global cooperation and inclusive governance in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) during a key summit held in China. The purpose of this summit is to ensure access to emerging technologies for all countries and to formulate a joint strategy to address future challenges.
The Government of Pakistan approved a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence policy last year. The primary objective of this policy is to modernize the country's technology sector. Under this plan, an investment of approximately 278 billion rupees (one billion dollars) is expected by the year 2030, which will boost the digital economy.
The goal of this investment is not only to improve technical skills at the local level but also to create new employment opportunities for the youth. The government believes that these advancements in the field of Artificial Intelligence will prove crucial for Pakistan's economic growth and competitiveness in the global market.
In the context of the ongoing global debate regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence, Pakistan's stance is that access to technology should be equal for all. Pakistan has been emphasizing at international forums that developing countries need the support of the global community to reap the benefits of modern technology.
In the future, Pakistan is committed to enhancing its digital capabilities and improving its technology infrastructure in accordance with global standards through this policy. This initiative is expected to see Pakistan emerge as a key player in the technology sector in the coming years.
