The first ever National Center for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) has been approved, in principle, by Central Development Working Party (CDWP), under the Minister of Planning and Development, Ahsan Iqbal’s Vision 2025.
NCAI, what is set to be a consortium of 8 labs across several universities with 4 computing clusters, will also have its very own Competitive Research Fund to be open to all Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers and universities (public and private).

Athar Osama, CEO at Pakistan Innovation Foundation, who put out the news through Facebook, said:

 

A unique academic partnership driven by results to aspire for sustainability in 3 years, specific targets about publications, startups, and industrial collaborations. This will become a model of extremely competitive research funding at Universities for the future. We’re looking for industrial and corporate partners to join the gang and make Pakistan artificially intelligent!

He credited the work to the hardwork of Prof. Dr. Arshad Ali (HEC), and many AI researchers including Khalid Latif, Yasar Ayaz and others.

Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
