In order for Pakistan to drive national development, Federal Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal called for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across crucial key sectors where he emphasized the need for a focused 10-year strategic roadmap. These sectors include education, health, agriculture and governance, just to name a few, as the government aims to foster cross-sector collaborations in hopes to establish a national AI fund to support such innovative changes. Plans are also underway to host a national AI workshop including the use of 3D printing, to develop practical, localized AI solutions for Pakistan’s challenges and to place Pakistan at the forefront of technological advancements.
