Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday launched the Artificial Intelligence-based Prime Minister Office System (PMOS), directing all government authorities to abandon paper-based file work in favour of the new digital platform with immediate effect.
Speaking at the launch ceremony at the Prime Minister Office, Shehbaz Sharif said the system would record, communicate, monitor and track every directive he issues, from the point of issuance through implementation, verified completion and post-completion monitoring. He told officials that all future discussions would take place through the new mechanism rather than through physical files.
The prime minister instructed all ministries and departments to adopt the platform without delay, describing it as a tool that would ease the process of delivering results and improve the overall efficiency of government functioning. He commended Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja and the Secretary IT for developing and operationalising the system.
The ceremony was attended by Minister for Economic Affairs Ahad Khan Cheema, Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja and other senior government officials, who briefed the prime minister on the platform and its objectives.
Officials informed the prime minister that PMOS is the first government platform in Pakistan to place artificial intelligence at the centre of decision-making and implementation monitoring, describing it as a trailblazer for the digital transformation of the federal government. The system has been developed at the centre of government to ensure that prime ministerial directives are communicated efficiently across government departments and implemented within defined quality standards.
According to the briefing, PMOS functions as a secure, technology-driven decision-support platform that integrates analytics and structured information within a protected IT environment. It is also expected to support continuous policy calibration by helping the government make more effective use of technological, human and financial resources to generate improved economic outcomes.
By introducing the system first at the Prime Minister Office, the government intends to embed governance reforms at the highest level before extending them across the wider administrative structure. At the core of the platform lies a comprehensive digital repository that records every directive issued by the prime minister along with its complete implementation chain, effectively making PMOS both an institutional knowledge base and a permanent record of government decision-making.
Unlike conventional tracking systems used in government departments, PMOS incorporates an artificial intelligence layer capable of reading, classifying and analysing directives, rather than simply storing them.
