What is AAAI Pakistan?

AAAI Pakistan is the official chapter of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence — a verified, membership-based community connecting AI researchers, students, trainers, and institutions across Pakistan with the global AAAI network and ecosystem.

The Chapter at a Glance

Founded globally in 1979, AAAI is the world's premier scientific society for advancing artificial intelligence. Pakistan was officially recognized as a geographical AAAI chapter in 2025. We launched publicly on July 25, 2025 at Pearl Continental Hotel, Karachi, bringing together leading researchers, educators, and innovators.

Our mission: Connect Pakistan's brightest AI talent with world-class research, international collaboration, and career opportunities. We host events, facilitate research publication, run hackathons, and build Pakistan's presence in the global AI ecosystem.
