Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Ahad Cheema chaired a high-level meeting to review the Prime Minister’s Office System (PMOS), an AI-powered governance platform aimed at improving coordination, monitoring, and efficiency across federal ministries. The system is designed to centralize government operations and strengthen oversight of public sector initiatives.
The meeting was attended by Minister for IT and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja, Secretary IT Zarar Hashim Khan, Chairman Pakistan Digital Authority Sohail Munir, and senior officials from the Prime Minister’s Office. They reviewed the platform’s progress and its proposed rollout across departments.
Centralized digital governance system
During the briefing, officials from the Pakistan Digital Authority presented a detailed demonstration of PMOS. They explained that the platform connects all federal ministries with the Prime Minister’s Office through a unified digital system. This setup enables real-time tracking of tasks, projects, and development milestones across government departments.
Officials further said that directives issued by the Prime Minister’s Office will now be delivered instantly to relevant ministries. The system also provides continuous monitoring of progress, allowing decision-makers to stay updated without delays. This approach is expected to improve transparency and administrative efficiency.
Automated tracking and AI-based support tools
A key feature of PMOS is its automated alert mechanism, which flags overdue tasks through pop-up notifications. These alerts appear on the accounts of Federal Secretaries and concerned officers. The system is designed to improve accountability and ensure timely follow-ups on official directives.
The meeting also reviewed a sovereign AI-based GPT-powered research system developed by the Pakistan Digital Authority. It uses past government records, decisions, and official directives to support internal research and quick information access. Officials said this will help improve institutional knowledge sharing and decision-making speed.
The AI tool also works as a virtual assistant for government officers. It understands official procedures and supports administrative tasks through automation. This is expected to enhance productivity and streamline workflows across departments.
Federal Minister Ahad Cheema appreciated the initiative and said it reflects a shift toward modern governance practices. He directed stakeholders to further refine the system to improve usability, performance, and efficiency before wider deployment.
He also stated that Pakistan is moving toward an AI-driven digital governance model focused on transparency and better public service delivery. He added that PMOS will support the National Digital Masterplan by improving coordination between ministries.
The minister highlighted that citizen service platforms such as Asan Khidmat Markaz are already improving public access to services. He said future reforms will expand digital tax systems and other technology-based governance tools.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to strengthening digital governance through artificial intelligence. Officials agreed that such systems will play a key role in improving service delivery and building a more accountable government structure.
