JazzWorld CEO warns AI rise could widen intelligence divide in Pakistan
JazzWorld CEO Aamir Ibrahim spoke at the Leaders in Islamabad Business Summit on September 17 about building AI factories to bridge an emerging intelligence divide.
Defining the new intelligence divide
Ibrahim stated that the next major gap will concern access to capability rather than just connectivity. He explained that artificial intelligence provides tools for education, analysis, and software development which must be available to everyone. The CEO warned that failing to address this could leave many without an intelligent future.
Requirements for AI factories
The executive noted that these facilities depend on specific inputs such as energy, compute power, data centers, and data. He argued that Pakistan must build the necessary infrastructure to participate in the rapidly expanding global AI economy. The goal is to move from consuming technology to becoming an AI maker for global markets.
Sovereign AI and local context
Ibrahim highlighted sovereign AI as a concept that extends beyond keeping data within national borders. Building systems should serve global markets while understanding local languages, culture, security requirements, and context. This approach ensures technology fits the specific needs of the region.
