IT Ministry Opposes Establishment of AI Regulator in Pakistan

The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) has advised against the immediate establishment of an AI regulator in Pakistan. The ministry argues that the country should first focus on building a strong AI ecosystem before implementing regulations. It emphasizes the importance of foundational elements like data governance and protection as prerequisites for a thriving AI environment.

The MoITT's stance reflects a broader global trend where many countries have developed AI policies but few have enacted specific regulations. The ministry is working on a National AI Plan, involving collaboration between public sector, industry, and academia to address AI opportunities and challenges. This phased approach aims to ensure that regulatory measures are introduced only after establishing a mature AI environment.

• MoITT suggests delaying AI regulation to develop a robust ecosystem first.

• Focus on data governance and foundational elements is emphasized for AI growth.
