Punjab advances AI integration in agriculture and academia
The Punjab government is pursuing a strategy to integrate artificial intelligence into the agricultural sector to enhance productivity and farmer incomes. Officials stated the province aims to become Pakistan’s first fully AI-enabled province, focusing on using data to help farmers forecast yields and improving the agricultural value chain to reduce reliance on middlemen.
In academic developments, Punjab University has inaugurated a Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Supported by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA), the facility is designed to research the social and human implications of AI technology. The project establishes an academic partnership between Punjab University and Türkiye's Yıldız Technical University, facilitating joint research and knowledge exchange between the two nations.
