To create a policy on Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) has made a decision.
According to insiders, it has asked specialists for advice on the policy. The ministry will receive advice from AI specialists, following which a rough draft of the policy will be created.
The government wants to invest in the growth and adoption of this industry to ensure its positive effects on the economy and society, according to MoITT officials, who explained the rationale behind the decision to draft an AI policy.
Through the strategy, the government also hopes to give the private sector resources so that it can make investments in this industry.
Actions must be taken to encourage young people to enroll in Big Data, Machine Learning, Robotics, and other related courses if the AI sector is to advance.
As a result, the policy will include actions that will motivate academic institutions in this area, according to the sources.
The government is moving in the right way, according to AI specialists. The world is moving quickly toward AI since it has become essential in every industry.
Even India has developed national initiatives to encourage the use and development of AI, following Canada, China, America, and Japan.
According to experts, many industries in Pakistan have begun employing AI, including vehicle e-challans issued by Safe City cameras.
Additionally, a 60% growth is anticipated in this industry over the next few years as a result of business adoption of automation technologies.
