Pakistan AI Centers of Excellence (Pak AI CoE)

De-risking AI through controlled pilots

Sandbox pilots allow companies and public-sector entities to test AI use-cases inside the Pak AI CoE infrastructure before making large-scale investments. They combine curated datasets, governance rules, and dedicated technical support.

How sandbox pilots work

• Partner and Pak AI CoE define a specific problem, such as fraud detection, quality inspection or routing optimization.
• Relevant data is de-identified and ingested into the appropriate sectoral sandbox.
• A joint team of learners, trainers and partner staff prototypes one or more AI solutions.
• Results, risks and cost-benefit are summarized for management decision-making.

What partners get

• A safe environment to experiment without exposing core production systems.
• Access to GPU-backed compute and experienced mentors.
• Documentation that can be used to brief boards, regulators and internal audit.
• A clear decision: scale, iterate or abandon the proposed AI use-case.

Examples of sandbox pilots

• Testing computer-vision inspection on one product line in a factory.
• Running a six-week fraud-analytics pilot with historical transaction data.
• Evaluating AI-based triage support on sample emergency-room data.
