NIBAF Pakistan held a focused one-day training program titled Empowering Productivity with AI Tools, designed to build applied artificial intelligence capability among officers of the State Bank of Pakistan. Conducted on November 3, 2025, at NIBAF’s Karachi campus in an in-person format, the session introduced participants to practical AI applications that can streamline processes, automate routine tasks, and enhance decision-making efficiency across banking and regulatory workflows. The training was led by Mr. Sajid Majeed, who guided attendees through hands-on exercises and real-world cases demonstrating how AI tools can support data processing, document analysis, and communication tasks while reducing manual workload.
As Pakistan’s financial ecosystem continues its shift toward digitalisation, central bank employees are increasingly expected to work with emerging technologies that improve operational capacity and oversight functions. The program addressed this shift by providing participants with exposure to AI platforms, automation assistants, and productivity technologies now widely used in global financial institutions. The session covered practical tool use, responsible AI practices, and structured methods to integrate digital solutions into day-to-day professional routines, with emphasis on enhancing accuracy, speed, and workflow consistency.
Beyond the technology overview, the course highlighted strategic benefits of AI in financial administration, compliance management, research tasks, and data-driven decision environments. Participants engaged in applied learning modules illustrating how artificial intelligence can support document drafting, meeting preparation, data summarization, knowledge retrieval, report automation, and time-optimised task management. This approach was designed to equip officers with immediate, job-relevant skills that can be deployed across policymaking, supervision, and operational units.
The initiative reflects NIBAF’s continuous effort to strengthen digital competency across the financial sector workforce and prepare institutional talent for evolving workplace standards. With AI becoming integral to analytics, oversight frameworks, and service delivery worldwide, Pakistan’s financial institutions are increasing investment in capability development to ensure readiness and efficiency in an AI-enabled operational landscape. This training aligns with broader national priorities for technology adoption and future-of-work transformation within government and regulatory agencies.
Participants also explored responsible and secure uses of AI within regulated environments, including data-handling considerations, confidentiality safeguards, and ethical usage protocols to ensure compliance with institutional policies. These components are increasingly relevant as financial agencies adopt automated systems and digital tools to support policy execution and supervisory mandates.
The successful conclusion of this session underscores the growing demand for workforce readiness in artificial intelligence applications across the banking and regulatory ecosystem. NIBAF’s continuing focus on digital skill development, automation capability, and leadership agility training reflects a structured approach toward building a digitally empowered talent base capable of supporting Pakistan’s ongoing transition toward modern, technology-enabled financial governance and service infrastructure.
