Age of Artificial Intelligence


Artificial Intelligence is a disruptive new kind of technology that has been decades in the
making. This new development promises to redefine the way we interact with machines-as
individuals, economies and communities. An accelerating adoption across the globe has placed
artificial intelligence front and center of a global digital revolution.

Leaps Forward: Advances in AI

Artificial Intelligence has an emerging presence in our everyday lives. At an individual level, AI
technologies are being leveraged to provide customized recommendations, automate routine
tasks and create and curate content for millions. For organizations across the world and in
Pakistan, AI represents a huge opportunity to both enhance operations and processes as well
as explore new avenues and markets.

Artificial Intelligence: an Introduction

The undisputed buzzword of the 21st century,


artificial intelligence has been hard to define,
even for academics themselves. A widely Artificial intelligence is

J. Nilson and it argues that “Artificial intelligence is that quality

environment.”⁽¹⁾ However, how companies,
governments and individuals define “foresight”
and “intelligence” varies upon context.

Typically, artificial intelligence can be categorized across two major markers:


The extent of human assistance
Depending on their use, some artificial intelligence models are designed to involve
humans while others function entirely independently.
The extent of adaptivity
Artificial intelligence can also be defined based on its relative adaptivity. Certain models
are capable of adjusting to and learning from their environment while others are
hardwired or in other words perform their function in the specified way regardless of
changes to their environment.

Artificial Intelligence: the $66.8 billion
Global Market AI global funding for 2021

The Al industry is thriving across the globe. In 2021, the 65


global market was estimated to be worth over USD 328 AI companies with a
valuation of USD 1 Billion
billion⁽²⁵⁾. Moreover, Al global funding doubled to $66.8
billion, and a record 65 Al companies reached $1B+
valuations ⁽³⁾. Every year, an increasing number of $15.7 trillion
companies adopt AI solutions. PwC predicts AI could added by AI adoption to the
add up to $15.7 trillion dollars to the global GDP by global economy by 2030
2030. Of this increase, $6.6 trillion is likely to come (projected)

from increased productivity as a result of AI solutions


while $9.1 trillion is likely to come from consumption
side effects.⁽²⁾

With its development still in nascent stages, AI holds significant potential at a macroeconomic
level. Currently, its applications are being explored by both developed and developing countries.
While all regions are poised to benefit from the advances in AI, PwC predicts that North America
and China will make up nearly 70% of the total global economic impact of the AI advances to
come. Currently, these two countries also dominate in cross country collaborations for AI,
according to the Stanford AI Index Report. As of 2021, the United States was the world leader in
both total private investment in AI and the number of newly funded AI companies, three and two
times higher, respectively, than China, the next country on the ranking ⁽⁴⁾. In Europe, London is a
critical hub, with AI companies employing almost 23, 800 people. Singapore is also a major center
for Big Tech in Asia with companies such as Google, Meta, Amazon and Microsoft having set up
office. As it stands, the AI market in Singapore is valued at an estimated $960 million with an
annual CAGR of 42%⁽³⁾.

Applications of AI Across the Globe

McKinsey and Company’s 2022


report on the State of AI found
that adoption of AI more than
doubled since 2017 from a
sample of nearly 1500
companies across the globe ⁽⁵⁾.

As shown, a large proportion of companies are


geared towards using AI to improve the quality of
service offered as well as to enhance operations.
AI gains are expected to be driven by the increases
in labor productivity as well as boosted consumer
side demand due to accurate and customized
prediction models ⁽²⁾.

companies are increasingly investing more in
incorporating artificial intelligence in their
functions. McKinsey and Company’s report on AI
found that nearly 52% of companies reported that
at least 5% of their budgets went into AI solutions
compared to 40% in 2018⁽⁵⁾ .

Governance & AI: the Global Landscape

As interaction with AI becomes more widespread, at both the individual and organizational level,
governments have begun to take note. Artificial intelligence, its uses and its potential risks have
become critical discussion points for governments across the globe.

In major hubs for AI, governments have dedicated policies and plans dedicated specifically to
the AI sector and its improvement. For example, in 2019, under its AI Sector Deal, the UK
government allocated £0.95 billion directly to the sector as well as £2.5 billion for an investment
fund and infrastructure improvements. France also has a dedicated National AI Strategy that
both dispenses funds for research and leads training programs for professionals. ⁽³⁾
6

Not only are governments interested in supporting


the artificial intelligence industries in their
respective countries, but they also actively monitor
and oversee developments in the industry at large.
By 2020, Canada, United Kingdom, United States,
Germany, and European Union had all published
reports that monitored and evaluated the
implementation of their AI strategies and highlighted
milestones and accomplishments ⁽⁶⁾.

The regulatory environment for artificial intelligence


is also a pressing concern for governing bodies. An
analysis of legislative records by Stanford
University’s AI Index found that in a sample of 25
countries, the number of bills containing “artificial
intelligence” that were passed into law grew from
just 1 in 2016 to 18 in 2021. Spain, the United
Kingdom, and the United States passed the highest
number of AI-related bills in 2021, with each
adopting three ⁽⁴⁾. International governing
organizations such as the World Bank and the UN
have also actively sponsored research into how
governments can create a regulatory environment
for AI ⁽⁷⁾. In 2021, all member states of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) adopted an agreement on
the ethics of AI which defined “the common values
and principles needed to ensure the healthy
development of AI” ⁽⁸⁾.

UNESCO's policy on the ethics of AI advocates for a


more human centered AI approach and advocates
for greater inclusivity in the adoption and spread of
AI under the banner of "AI for all". The body shows
concern not just for developments in AI but also for
how the profits reaped from this technological
innovation are shared amongst member states. This
represents an interesting shift in thinking as it
indicates that policy makers at the highest level are
considering not just the adoption of AI but even the
consequences of what is to come after⁽²³⁾.

UNESCO has also worked to produce guidelines on


policymaking for AI with a particular focus on
education and released a report titled "Artificial
Intelligence & Education: Guidance for Policy
Makers."⁽²³⁾

AI Policy Considerations for Pakistan
For the People

In order to ensure that the talent of Pakistan is well positioned in the


international trade market, it is critical that the government and all
associated parties collaborate to ensure that a robust talent pipeline
is in place. Moreover, it is important that the talent in Pakistan is
appropriately trained to work in and adopt to a dynamic ecosystem.
Universities need to collaborate with the private sector to ensure that
proper technical training in ML & Deep learning is offered to students
as a core course. The government also needs to support ed-tech
platforms that are available for professionals in the industry to upskill
and reskill.

For the Organizations

To bolster organizations working with AI, the government needs to


promote the ease of doing business in such a field. This can be done
by ensuring the availability of the internet and creating

For the Ecosystem

The needs of the ecosystem at large must also be considered. To


ensure that Pakistan is able to house a thriving AI industry, there
must be greater dialogue between the private and public sector. The
government must make the necessary investments through funding
so that relevant opportunities are pursued. Moreover, there also
needs to be a focus on research and monitoring. The impact of laws
and policies put in place related to AI and IT must be mapped to so
that the government has accurate information about the ecosystem.
Finally, the government also needs to ensure that the needs of the
fast-growing freelance market of Pakistan which is sure to be a
critical player in the AI ecosystem is taken into consideration in all
policies.
