Pakistan launched the UN Women Gender-Responsive AI School Pakistan, a nationwide initiative to promote the ethical, inclusive and gender-responsive use of artificial intelligence (AI). The initiative was launched by the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) in collaboration with UN Women Pakistan, with support from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). It is designed to build AI capacity among policymakers, government officials, parliamentarians, UN agencies, academia, civil society organizations, businesses and community leaders. The AI School combines theoretical knowledge with practical training, offering courses on AI fundamentals, ethical and gender-responsive AI, AI governance, prompt engineering, AI agents, public administration and the application of AI for inclusive development. Training activities began ahead of the official launch. Pakistan has become the first country in South Asia to host the complete national Training of Trainers (ToT) track under the UN Women AI School. Since 2024, the regional initiative has trained more than 5,000 policymakers, UN officials, civil society members and young innovators across Asia and the Pacific. UN Women Pakistan Country Representative Jamshed M. Kazi said Pakistan is the first country in the region to introduce national AI training pathways spanning the executive, legislative and judicial branches. The initiative seeks to address the limited integration of gender considerations in AI policymaking. During the launch ceremony, MoITT and UN Women Pakistan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to institutionalize the AI School.
