Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday launched the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Prime Minister's Office System (PMOS), describing it as a digital platform designed to modernise governance by tracking and monitoring the implementation of directives issued by the prime minister, the PM's Office posted on X.

Addressing the launch ceremony at the Prime Minister's Office, Shehbaz directed all relevant authorities to ensure the immediate and full implementation of the AI-powered system, saying traditional paper-based workflows would be replaced by digital processes.

"From today onwards, I will not expect any of you with a file in your hands. Everything will be discussed through this mechanism," the prime minister said, according to the PMO. He also praised IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja and the secretary of the Ministry of Information Technology for their efforts in developing and operationalising the platform.

The prime minister urged all ministries and government departments to adopt the system, saying it would improve governance and public service delivery. "This would make service delivery easier," he said.

According to the PMO, the prime minister was given a comprehensive briefing on the AI-powered platform and its objectives during the ceremony.

Officials informed the meeting that PMOS is the first government platform in Pakistan to integrate artificial intelligence as a core component of decision-making and implementation monitoring, making it a key initiative in the federal government's digital transformation, the PMO said.

According to the briefing, the platform has been developed at the centre of government to ensure the efficient communication of the prime minister's directives across ministries and departments while enabling their timely implementation in line with defined quality standards.

The PMO said the system also serves as a secure, technology-driven decision-support platform by integrating analytics and structured information within a protected IT environment.

Officials further said PMOS would enable continuous policy calibration by helping the government make more effective use of technological, human and financial resources to improve economic outcomes.

According to the statement, the government plans to embed governance reforms at the PMO before extending the platform across the wider federal administrative structure.

At the heart of PMOS is a comprehensive digital repository that records every directive issued by the prime minister together with its complete implementation trail, making the platform both an institutional knowledge base and a permanent record of government decision-making, it added.
