The Lahore Development Authority recently announced that it will be making use of AI systems that can automate processes for map submission approvals in residential and commercial projects. These systems will bypass bureaucratic hurdles posed by Town Planning and Architectural Directorates, who, as per the Dawn report, raise repeated objections regarding map designs and urban projects. In contrast, AI-based automation would allow for rapid approval processes and can potentially eliminate irregularities and corruption. It remains to be seen whether this substitution of AI for Human oversight is feasible considering the complex legal infrastructure governing land-use and urban spacing issues.
