July 31, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan has approved the
National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy 2025, a transformative initiative
aimed at building a robust AI ecosystem to modernize public services.
The policy targets training one million AI professionals by
2030, launching 50,000 AI-powered civic projects, developing 1,000 local AI
products, awarding 3,000 annual scholarships, and investing in critical AI
infrastructure across sectors.
Described as a revolutionary step by Minister for
Information Technology Shaza Fatima, the policy is designed to bring AI-driven
progress not only to the IT industry but across health, education, trade, and
the wider economy.
The It minister emphasized that the government is committed
to ensuring every citizen benefits from AI advancements, with a strong focus on
equity and accessibility, said a press release issued today.
Special emphasis has been placed on empowering youth and
preparing them for future-ready, market-oriented careers through startup
funding and nationwide AI education initiatives.
The policy prioritizes inclusion, offering support for women
and differently-abled individuals, and ensures strong cybersecurity protections
through AI-enhanced systems.
Data privacy, national security, and responsible innovation
have been integrated into the framework to maintain ethical and regulatory
alignment with international standards. The plan also calls for strategic
global partnerships to accelerate AI adoption and innovation.
Implementation will be overseen by a newly formed AI Council
supported by a comprehensive Master Plan and Action Matrix.
The Prime Minister lauded the efforts of the Ministry of IT,
stating that the policy will play a central role in enhancing productivity and
governance while unlocking new opportunities in agriculture, industry, and
digital public services.
