Topic of Research Seminar: Artificial Intelligence in Pakistan: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract: AI disrupts every walk of life, e.g., service operation optimization, product enhancement, supply chain management, and manufacturing. One of the most notable benefits of using AI in all those areas is a significant cost decrease – up to more than 50% in some cases. However, the adoption of AI is slow in Pakistan, and it has not been able to penetrate the socioeconomic settings fully. This talk highlights how AI can help solve some fundamental problems in Pakistan and how the Sino-Pak Center for AI is helping achieve these goals.
