At a time when artificial intelligence is reshaping governance systems, economies and societies across the world, embedding AI education within the country’s premier civil service training institution reflects both foresight and urgency. Such partnerships are essential in fast-evolving fields like artificial intelligence, where private-sector expertise can complement institutional knowledge and policy direction. More importantly, the initiative aligns closely with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s Digital Nation Vision and the Digital Nation Pakistan Act, which provides the legislative backbone for reforms across the digital economy, digital society and digital governance. The National Artificial Intelligence Policies focus on building capacity within government is therefore both timely and necessary. Embedding AI training formally into the CSA curriculum is perhaps the most impactful outcome of this initiative.
