DFINITY Foundation has announced a memorandum of understanding with the Pakistani government to establish sovereign cloud infrastructure on the Internet Computer network. According to PANews, this collaboration aims to develop generative AI applications and create a secure national communication system.
The partnership includes the creation of the Pakistan Subnet, a serverless cloud immune to cyberattacks, with data and computing resources retained within Pakistan. This initiative is designed to prepare for the future of AI software development and operation.
Additionally, Pakistan will receive 1,500 initial Caffeine AI licenses to support government, academia, private sector, and startups in interacting with AI through natural language on the Pakistan Subnet, accelerating digital transformation.
A National Messenger Service will also be developed, based on sovereign Internet Computer infrastructure, incorporating verified digital identity technology to support privacy protection and digital asset transfer.
DFINITY will establish a branch in Pakistan to assist the government, academia, and developers in using AI to develop sovereign applications and promote Internet Computer technology. This initiative aims to help Pakistan achieve digital sovereignty, advance AI technology, and build infrastructure designed for the AI era, ensuring security, verifiability, and national control.
