Construire l’IA de manière responsable, c'est installer la puissance et les limites en même temps, pas ajouter les secondes après coup, une fois que la première a déjà causé des dégâts. Tariq Malik. #finance #marchésfinanciers #ia allnews.ch/content/points-de…

Humbled to be named among the #DPI50, alongside ministers, public leaders & remarkable practitioners shaping our digital future. The more I learn, the more I realize how much there is still to learn. No arrival. No finish line. Just a lifelong student; learning, questioning & trying to ensure technology empowers people. Grateful. PakistanZindabad 🇵🇰 apolitical.co/en/lists/dpi-5…

The most useful lesson from this summer's @huggingface breach by a swarm of @OpenAI agents is about architecture, not intentions, argues Tariq Malik (@ReplyTariq). AI agents need protective layers, not a lecture about good behavior. project-syndicate.org/commen…

Here is the horrifying scenario about how human beings could become the agents of AI instead of being controllers when the later stops taking permission and starts giving it. Internationally recognised IT expert and advisor Pakistan’s Tariq Malik (former chairman NADRA) is in the engine room of a train that is unstoppable and running against the time. WHEN AI STOPS TAKING PERMISSION "…Whether a human is watching is irrelevant. What matters is whether a human still holds the objective, the permissions, the boundaries, and the off switch. Call it human command, not human oversight….." project-syndicate.org/commen…

#AI agents built a secret message board inside OpenAI, shared exploits, and breached Hugging Face. Nobody told them to. After 20 years building national ID systems, this is a familiar failure mode: you don't get security by trusting behavior, you get it by design.

📉 What does poverty look like in numbers? Nearly 29% of Pakistan's population is now living below the poverty line, up from 21.9% six years ago. Behind every percentage point are millions of households facing rising economic pressures. In this edition of Taraqqi Unpacked, we break down the latest HIES 2024-25 data to understand where poverty has increased, who is most affected, and why these trends matter for Pakistan's development future.

قبروں میں نہیں ہم کو کتابوں میں اتارو ہم لوگ محبت کی کہانی میں مریں ہیں
When Abu Bilal built a secret wall in his home to protect his precious books from Syria’s former Assad regime, he didn’t know if he’d see them again. 15 years later, with the help of a hammer, he was able to recover them.

Science fiction trained us to fear machines that become conscious and decide to hate us. That is probably the wrong fear, writes Tariq Malik (@ReplyTariq). project-syndicate.org/commen…

Tech can verify a face, and/or #biometrics Only trust can recognize a person. While the world marks other days, we mark this one. On #IdentityDay, identity is the foundation of the social contract; not a tool of control, but a bridge of trust. @ID4Africa #ID4Africa2026 #Governance #DPI #DigitalID

#Pakistan just removed the chip from its smart National #ID card. Not a technical footnote. It’s a test of who #identity actually serves: does the credential protect the citizen, or just make the citizen legible to everyone else? #Governance #Privacy #DPI
Tariq Malik @ReplyTariq examines what Pakistan gains—and what it gives up—in the transition, from lower costs and easier verification to concerns over copying, offline authentication and data security. 🔗 thefridaytimes.com/14-Sep-20… #Pakistan #NADRA #DigitalIdentity #CyberSecurity

🔐 Pakistan’s CNIC is going chipless. NADRA says two QR codes will make identity verification cheaper and easier. But Tariq Malik asks whether the country is also giving up important security capabilities. ✍️ By @ReplyTariq 🔗 thefridaytimes.com/14-Sep-20… #Pakistan #NADRA #CNIC

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

From registering citizens to building trust, @NadraPak has transformed how millions of Pakistanis access public services and is now sharing its expertise with other countries. In her blog, @van_ntn, Deputy Resident Representative #UNDPinPakistan, reflects on NADRA’s remarkable journey and what could come next. go.undp.org/Nib

Over 1 bn young people in developing countries will enter the workforce in the next decade. Without digital inclusion, many will be shut out from good jobs. Closing the digital gap is critical to unlock jobs, boost productivity & reduce poverty. Read more: blogs.worldbank.org/en/voice…
