Pakistan has launched AI Seekho, a national initiative aimed at developing artificial intelligence talent, with a Rs25 million prize pool to incentivise participation and innovation.
The programme is designed to train students, developers, and entrepreneurs in AI-related skills, combining learning with competitive elements to drive engagement. Participants will have the opportunity to work on real-world use cases, build AI solutions, and compete for funding and recognition.
AI Seekho reflects growing efforts to position Pakistan within the global AI landscape by investing in talent development and ecosystem building. By combining training with financial incentives, the initiative aims to accelerate skill acquisition while encouraging practical application of AI technologies.
The launch comes as demand for AI expertise continues to rise across industries, including fintech, telecom, and enterprise technology. Public and private sector collaboration is playing a key role in scaling such initiatives and ensuring alignment with market needs.
Pakistan has been increasingly focusing on digital skills development as part of its broader technology agenda, with AI emerging as a priority area for future growth.
Editor’s Note:
Incentivised programmes like AI Seekho highlight a shift toward outcome-driven talent development in emerging markets. Building a competitive AI workforce will be critical for Pakistan’s long-term positioning in the global digital economy.
