In the context of the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Chinese and Pakistani researchers are helping Pakistan build smarter and safer cities through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
At the beginning of year 2022, the CPInS Lab was officially established at Pakistan National University of Science and Technology (NUST), with joint efforts of NUST and Guangzhou Institute of Software Application Technology.
At present, various researches are in progress in an orderly manner, Gwadar Pro reported on Sunday. “We have made great progress in areas such as UAV control systems and AI recognition localization.
Our lab is starting the application of smart cities in Pakistan,” Dr. Wu Jun, the Director of CPInS Lab, said.
“Through this platform, our mature research results could be deeply connected with local projects in Pakistan, providing smart city-related products and intelligent solutions according to local conditions.
We are able to effectively implement core technologies and products such as smart street lights and smart videos to improve local urban governance ability he told Gwadar Pro.” “Sci-tech cooperation is of great importance to Pakistan’s socio-economic development,” SeemabLatif, Head of the Pakistani side of the lab and Associate Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS) at the NUST, indicated that China’s AI industry leads the world, as well as Pakistan’s scientific and technological development has huge potential, thus by deepening bilateral cooperation. Pakistan can make great progress in the field of Sci-Tech, by which own the potential to become an AI development center in South Asia.
According to Latif, that the lab is using technology from China to develop smart city projects such as efficient traffic management systems and infrastructure monitoring systems in Pakistan.
At present, on the basis of local conditions, the license plate recognition system and intelligent security system developed by the lab have begun to be piloted in Pakistan.
