Pakistan’s National AI Policy outlines innovation, public awareness, secure systems and international collaboration, targeting around Rs278 billion (about US$1 billion) in investment by 2030. The policy aims to train one million AI professionals and 10,000 AI trainers by 2030.

The conference will feature a high-level meeting on global AI governance, with UN leadership and other international figures expected to attend. Major US technology firms are largely absent from the lineup.

The agenda will emphasise bridging the AI divide, widening equitable access to AI technologies, and ensuring that the benefits of AI advance sustainable development.

Pakistan previously joined Tajikistan’s UN mission in hosting a high-level AI discussion at UN headquarters, highlighting youth empowerment and AI-driven development plans.
