The government of Pakistan is set to introduce its first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy by early 2025, primarily focusing on enhancing cyber security and boosting the digital economy. The policy aims to transform Pakistan into a “Digital Pakistan” by deploying AI to detect and respond to cyber threats in real time, helping prevent data breaches and protect sensitive information.
The ongoing development of digital public infrastructure and the new AI policy could elevate Pakistan to the top 10-15 ranks in the Global Cyber security Index. The government is also establishing sectoral CERTs (Computer/Cyber Emergency Response Teams) for industries like telecom, banking, and education. With collaboration across industry, academia, and government, Pakistan aims to build a secure digital economy and create a digitally transformed society.
