Abstract

In order to better understand how data security, cybersecurity, and AI ethics, are changing in Pakistan, this study employs a method of qualitative investigation that includes stakeholder interviews and an analysis of current regulatory frameworks. To determine the degree to which present legislation addresses the issue of digital rights, the study examines the views of cybersecurity, AI governance, and legislative experts as well as business executives. Although Pakistan has made significant progress in passing digital legislation, the statistics indicate that much more work has to be done in the areas of cybersecurity infrastructure and comprehensive data protection laws. The analysis also demonstrates that the ethical standards for AI development are still unclear, highlighting the need for improved legal protections and the suggestions that came out of this inspection, which include drafting ethical AI frameworks that adhere to international standards, strengthening cybersecurity, and adopting a national data privacy legislation. These findings will assist researchers and policymakers in determining what constitutes a good, moral, cyberspace in Pakistan.
