Pakistan turns its back on crypto to keep anti-terrorism watchdogs happy

"To achieve this, at least 10,000 new trainers will be required to impart high-impact AI & Allied Technologies education," according to a National Artificial Intelligence Policy draft. A survey conducted by the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication in 2022 revealed that less than ten percent of the current workforce working in computing and IT is skilled in AI and Allied Technologies.
The ministry also set itself more goals: to fund at least 1,000 AI-led R&D initiatives in academic and private sectors by 2026, and that Pakistan will file over 2,000 AI-related patents by 2026. ®

Diverse patients’ attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosisArtificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy. Yet people are often reluctant to trust automated systems, and some patient populations may be particularly distrusting. We sought to determine how diverse patient populations feel about the use of AI diagnostic tools, and whether framing and informing the choice affects uptake. To construct and pretest our materials, we conducted structured interviews with a diverse set of actual patients. We then conducted a pre-registered (osf.io/9y26x), randomized, blinded survey experiment in factorial design. A survey firm provided n=2675 responses, oversampling minoritized populations. Clinical vignettes were randomly manipulated in eight variables with two levels each: disease severity (leukemia versus sleep apnea), whether AI is proven more accurate than human specialists, whether the AI clinic is personalized to the patient through listening and/or tailoring, whether the AI clinic avoids racial and/or financial biases, whether the Primary Care Physician (PCP) promises to explain and incorporate the advice, and whether the PCP nudges the patient towards AI as the established, recommended, and easy choice. Our main outcome measure was selection of AI clinic or human physician specialist clinic (binary, “AI uptake”). We found that with weighting representative to the U.S. population, respondents were almost evenly split (52.9% chose human doctor and 47.1% chose AI clinic). In unweighted experimental contrasts of respondents who met pre-registered criteria for engagement, a PCP’s explanation that AI has proven superior accuracy increased uptake (OR=1.48, CI 1.24–1.77, p | .001), as did a PCP’s nudge towards AI as the established choice (OR=1.25, CI: 1.05–1.50, p=.013), as did reassurance that the AI clinic had trained counselors to listen to the patient’s unique perspectives (OR=1.27, CI: 1.07–1.52, p=.008). Disease severity (leukemia versus sleep apnea) and other manipulations did not affect AI upt
