Artificial Intelligence foundation of Pakistan’s bright future: Governor
KARACHI, Jun 29 (APP): Governor Sindh Syed Muhammad Nehal Hashmi has said that the present era belongs to Artificial Intelligence (AI), and equipping children and young people with modern technology has become an urgent necessity.
He said that Pakistan’s future is closely linked with modern education, information technology and artificial intelligence. With this objective, an AI Summer Camp for children has been launched at Governor House to prepare the younger generation for the demands of the future.
He expressed these views while addressing a press conference after inaugurating the AI Summer Camp for children at Governor House.
Governor Sindh said that Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif’s vision places special emphasis on Artificial Intelligence, and concrete steps are being taken to promote this sector. He added that talented children and young people will not be held back due to a lack of resources; instead, they will be provided with equal access to modern education and technology.
He said that the laptop scheme launched by former Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was a significant initiative to connect young people with modern education, while the AI Summer Camp is another important step in the same direction. He added that by providing AI education to talented children in Karachi, they are being equipped to meet the challenges of the future.
Nehal Hashmi said that today’s children will lead the IT and Artificial Intelligence revolution in Pakistan tomorrow. He said that his dream is to see every child in Sindh equipped with modern education and playing a meaningful role in building a developed and prosperous Pakistan.
He further said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defense Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Pakistan’s stature has been elevated on the global stage, and the younger generation will further enhance the country’s reputation through their talent and achievements. He added that children are the nation’s identity and future, and therefore they should be provided with the best opportunities to learn and develop their skills even during school vacations.
The Governor announced that admission to the AI Summer Camp will be granted strictly on merit to every child who knows how to use a mobile phone. He said that the objective of the camp is to transform children’s summer vacations into a productive period filled with learning, creativity and skill development.
He further stated that the prime minister’s vision is to significantly increase Pakistan’s exports, and a technologically skilled younger generation will play a pivotal role in achieving this national objective.
