A recently published research paper advocates for an industrial-policy approach that treats AI as a strategic sector in Pakistan, emphasising local-product development, cloud-hardware independence and export readiness. With young demographic strength and a growing ICT services base, Pakistan may be well-placed to become a regional AI hub—if it can overcome talent bottlenecks, reliance on foreign infrastructure and weak product innovation. Industry experts say that to unlock value, Pakistan needs incentives for startups, procurement preferences for local models, and regulatory clarity around data and compute ecosystems. If the country executes this vision, it could move from service-outsourcing to product-driven AI scale-ups and leverage AI in sectors like health, agritech and fintech for domestic impact and export growth.
