Preparing Case Study on Pakistan: Building a Robust, Resilient Digital Ecosystem

The project aimed to develop a case study on Pakistan’s AI policy and initiatives through conducting extensive desk research on policy documents in the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) domains. It concluded that Pakistan’s overall technological progress remains slow when compared with similar countries (Nazeer and Gil, 2023) and government commitment is needed to develop digital governance, digital infrastructure, innovation, integration and human capital, all of which are crucial for harnessing the potential of AI (Government of Pakistan, 2023). Without this, sectors heavily reliant on manual and traditional roles may miss out on the benefits of AI, leading to further economic divergence.
