Artificial Intelligence is a fast growing and dynamic space across the globe. As recent developments have shown, AI holds the key to the future and is predicted to generate millions of dollars for the global economy. Technologies powered by AI can be used by individuals and organizations to make better decisions, automate routine tasks and create new content from scratch. As it stands, AI is poised to transform all industries from healthcare and agriculture to finance and logistics.
While Pakistan has an emerging IT industry, the role that AI plays in the existing ecosystem demands more attention and dialogue. With its trend growing IT exports and rich human capital, Pakistan could benefit greatly by actively supporting and bolstering its Artificial Intelligence eco-system. However, for this to happen there needs to be comprehensive dialogue on the role that AI is currently playing and the potential role it can play in Pakistan with the support of the private sector and government. This is the aim of the Artificial Intelligence Summit-to provide a platform for discussion on key issues related to AI in Pakistan such as the policy and regulatory framework, the positioning of AI related products and services in local and global markets and the skills and training required by Pakistani professionals to tackle AI head on.
Through this forum, we hope to bring together professionals from all walks of life such as government officials, leading private sector players and academia to shed a light on what exactly is the path forward for AI in Pakistan and how each stakeholder can contribute. The event will be concluded with remarks by Mr. Mohsin Chandna, Federal Secretary Ministry of IT & Telecom.
This summit promises to be an exciting opportunity to learn more about artificial intelligence and its place in Pakistan’s ecosystem.
