The committee will also make amendments to the drafted Artificial Intelligence Policy. The final draught of IA policy will be forwarded to the Law Ministry for approval.
Draught Of The Policy
The policy draught will be referred to the federal cabinet for approval after receiving clearance from the Law Ministry.
The IT Ministry also solicited feedback from the general public and other stakeholders on this draught.
According to the Ministry of IT and Telecom, the Ministry of IT and Telecom sought the interest of willing AI specialists for consultation on the policy draught and finalisation.
A few artificial intelligence professionals have indicated interest in joining the committee, and their names are also being considered.
