The Pakistan Senate published the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Act proposing a comprehensive monitoring and enforcement framework for AI systems. The bill establishes penalties ranging from Rs 1.5 to 2.5 billion for violations, with higher penalties for sensitive and classified data breaches. A revised draft is being prepared under Standing Committee review to narrow fine ranges and clarify critical sector definitions. If enacted, it would create Pakistan’s first statutory AI enforcement mechanism with specific penalties, though the bill remains in committee and has not yet passed.
