AI requires responsible governance practices

The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry held a training workshop on AI governance, The Express Tribune reported, and LCCI President Faheem Ur Rehman Saigol used the event to urge businesses to adopt responsible practices as they expand their use of the technology. Saigol described governance as a core element of sustainable digital change rather than a mere compliance obligation. The session explored ethics, risks and preparedness for incoming rules, aiming to build understanding among firms.

Shakeel A Mian, founder and executive director of TechGov Intelligence, gave a detailed presentation on building structured frameworks that keep AI use safe and open. He listed accountability, risk management, openness to scrutiny and conformity with global regulations as the pillars of sound governance. He also stressed that ownership has to be defined at every stage of an AI system's life.

Saigol said the workshop was meant to help Pakistani enterprises adopt AI with confidence while limiting risk, and he voiced hope that a clearer grasp of governance would let businesses use the technology responsibly and stay competitive in international markets.
