Pakistan HEC's 2025 Draft Sets University GenAI Rules
A peer-jurisdiction higher-education GenAI governance draft - low priority for APS readers but contextually useful for those tracking international academic AI policy.
Key points
- Pakistan's HEC published a Version 1.0 draft GenAI framework for universities, dated August 2025 - not a new 2026 mandate.
- The draft requires original student work and disclosure of limited AI assistance, with institutions responsible for their own policies.
- Limited direct relevance to Australian federal agencies; useful only as comparative context for higher-education AI governance approaches.

Pakistan's Higher Education Commission circulated a Version 1.0 draft framework for generative AI use in universities, with the official PDF dated August 22, 2025. August 2026 reporting resurfaced the document rather than announcing a new mandate. The framework expects students to submit independently produced work, requires disclosure of limited AI assistance, and assigns institutions responsibility for developing their own assessment-level policies covering permitted, restricted, and prohibited uses. The document remains in draft status with no confirmed adoption date.
