Nepal is taking significant strides in shaping its future in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, led by Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung, has announced that it is moving forward with the finalization of the “National Artificial Intelligence Policy-2081BS.”
This policy is poised to be a critical step in creating a framework for AI technology’s long-term development in Nepal. The government is seeking input from experts and key stakeholders across various sectors to ensure the policy is well-rounded and addresses the country’s unique challenges and opportunities in AI.
The draft of the policy is expected to lay out comprehensive strategies for integrating AI into multiple sectors, ranging from education and healthcare to government services and agriculture. With the global AI race heating up, Nepal’s move reflects its intent to be part of this transformative technological evolution.
Stakeholders are hopeful that the policy will not only improve Nepal’s technological landscape but also open up new avenues for innovation, investment, and skill development in AI. The final policy is anticipated to be a pivotal move in positioning Nepal as an emerging player in the field of artificial intelligence.
