As governments around the world explore the potential of AI, Pakistan stands at a critical turning point.
Our colleagues at @Accountability Lab Pakistan have released a new policy brief, Advocating AI in Pakistan's Public Sector, highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and policy ...imperatives for AI adoption.
AI holds real potential to streamline bureaucratic processes, improve decision-making, and equip the public workforce for a rapidly changing governance landscape. But unlocking this potential requires more than tools; it demands sustained investment in skills, digital infrastructure, strong data protection frameworks, and trust-building.
The brief offers a clear and actionable roadmap: treat AI as a public good, build AI processes with transparency, and ensure implementation aligns with democratic accountability.
