Artificial intelligence specialists as well as representatives from the public and private sectors would make up the National Task Force.
A 15-member National Task Force (NTF) on Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been established by the Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives with the intention of achieving the necessary objectives for national development.
The main goal of National Task Force on AI, according to a press release, is to create a 10-year roadmap for accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence in the business, development, governance, education, and healthcare sectors.
Artificial intelligence specialists as well as representatives from the public and private sectors would make up the force. The minister emphasised the significance of AI for progress in the near future, claiming that it will revolutionise the fields of business, government, and education.
According to him, the NTF aims to use AI’s power for Pakistan’s development and growth while making sure that all facets of society can take advantage of its advantages.
The minister stated that the government’s commitment to embracing the NTF’s potential to positively alter the economic landscape of the nation included its establishment.
The PML-N administration established the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence in 2018. “By investing in AI, Pakistan can unlock new opportunities for growth and development and improve the lives of its citizens,” said the minister.
The minister emphasised the crucial role AI plays in the expansion and development of Pakistan’s economy. He continued, “AI integration in our governance, healthcare, and education systems has the potential to revolutionise these sectors and lead to significant progress.
The minister emphasised that AI could provide solutions that were previously unattainable, from enhancing learning experiences to personalising medical treatments.
The simulation of human intelligence functions by machines, particularly computer systems, is known as artificial intelligence. Expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision are some examples of specific AI applications.
Since its establishment as a field of study in 1956, artificial intelligence has gone through several cycles of optimism, disappointment, and funding loss (dubbed “AI winters”), followed by new strategies, accomplishments, and increased funding.
Numerous methods have been tried and rejected in AI research, including modelling human problem-solving, formal logic, massive knowledge bases, and brain simulation.
