Pakistan AI Centers of Excellence (Pak AI CoE)

From Karachi’s 12-hub pilot to a 100-hub national AI skills and innovation grid.

AI concepts taught in Urdu for clarity, in English for industry alignment

Most Pakistani learners grasp technical ideas much faster in Urdu. At the same time, AI tools, documentation, and global work are all in English. Pak AI CoE bridges both worlds.

Why bilingual design is essential

  • Reduces cognitive load for beginners encountering AI for the first time.
  • Improves comprehension of abstract concepts like models, datasets, and inference.
  • Ensures graduates can operate in English-speaking professional environments.

How bilingual delivery works

  • Core explanations delivered in Urdu for intuitive understanding.
  • Technical terms introduced and reinforced in English.
  • Glossaries, diagrams, and examples labeled in both languages.
  • MOOC content subtitled and narrated bilingually.

Benefits for nationwide adoption

  • Makes AI accessible in all provinces regardless of English fluency levels.
  • Supports NAVTTC and TEVTA rollout in districts with mixed-language learners.
  • Expands participation of women and youth who avoided IT due to English-heavy content.
