As of February 2026, Pakistan is rapidly advancing its Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem, with a focus on integrating AI into various sectors including education, governance, and industry. A significant recent development is the inauguration of the Artificial Intelligence Center at the Pakistan Industrial and Technical Assistance Centre (PITAC) by Haroon Akhtar Khan, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Industries. This initiative, part of a broader strategy to enhance the nation’s technological capabilities, reflects a growing national realization that economic revival depends on digital intelligence and innovation. Khan emphasized, "The world is progressing at a very rapid pace, and we must prepare our coming generations accordingly," highlighting the urgency of adapting to the technological revolution. The establishment of this center, alongside facilities for electric vehicles and digital content creation, aims to democratize access to advanced skills and align education with market needs.
