In conformance with the Government of Pakistan’s vision for Digital Pakistan, the Ministry of IT & Telecom is dedicated to ensuring equitable and timely access to opportunities and aims to foster a culture of innovation by implementing a comprehensive developmental agenda that embraces advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence in an efficient and responsible manner.

Furthermore, the policy aims to fundamentally rethink AI adoption in the local context so that new growth areas can be identified and intervened in considering the existing job market’s relevance while empathizing with the growing population of the country.

This policy stems from the “AI for Good” initiative by the ITU and the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the United Nations.
