By delivering innovative AI applications to national entities, this initiative will work towards achieving higher efficiency and productivity across all sectors.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister of IT & Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja said, “This is the landmark moment in the journey towards Pakistan’s digital future where we can use this partnership and advance AI in such a way that preserves our language and culture in front of the world.”
And so, by strengthening the might of academia, industry, and the government, not only can we build something representative for Pakistan but will position us at the vanguard in terms of emerging technologies.
Initiatives like this are crucial in safeguarding our sovereignty, advancing our global standing, and not forgetting our technological aspirations.
We will work at the governmental level towards establishing the necessary policies, resources, and frameworks over the years to make this initiative succeed.

According to Aamir Ibrahim, CEO Jazz “the future of Pakistan will critically hinge on innovation in AI and Large Language Models and are committed to developing a locally relevant environment that is meaningful for our communities’ distinct needs.
Through such partnerships with NUST and NITB, the digital divide will close doors, and this will become an empowering enabler for all those teachers, doctors, and farmers who would ensure that right tools and information come along to their local languages.
This collaboration is a national cause that will drive exponential progress in digital inclusion. It will hopefully be possible for the first functional model to become available by end months as it sets a strong footing for a transformational AI framework in Pakistan.
