Stringent regulatory policies and rules against the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could ensure a responsible and ethical technology culture among Pakistani youths, say AI coaches and entrepreneurs. They add that local bright youth could fully tap into AI to earn remotely with hands-on projects. They stress that it is high time to establish such rules as AI rapidly penetrates all fields and sectors.
Sharing their views with The Express Tribune, they state that preventing youths from misusing AI is crucial and should be approached through three facets. Firstly, comprehensive educational programmes should raise awareness about ethical implications and consequences, aiming to prevent youths from relying on AI technologies like ChatGPT for ready-made answers to assignment questions. Secondly, fostering an environment that values originality and critical thinking is essential, promoting honest academic practices. Lastly, it is advisable to implement advanced plagiarism detection and proctoring tools, leveraging technology to maintain authenticity.
“It is vital to address concerns around AI-generated fake content. I advocate for a regulatory approach that fosters innovation while managing risks. We propose measures such as mandatory disclosure, ethical guidelines, and user awareness initiatives, along with collaboration with the tech industry. Striking a balance is crucial to prevent harm without hindering AI’s positive impact in sectors like education and healthcare. It’s imperative to involve diverse stakeholders in a consultative process to tailor regulations effectively for Pakistan’s unique landscape, promoting responsible AI practices and transparency,” said Entrepreneur and technology expert Salman Lakhani, who is also the founder and CEO of Cubix.
