Keywords:
Data governance, cyber spectrum, Socio-Economic landscape, Big Data, Artificial intelligenceAbstract
The digital information landscape and the Internet of Things (IoT) have become the new vitality of society, and the word "data" which is often used interchangeably, has become essential to human existence in the modern world. Artificial intelligence (AI) in data analytics, IoT services, and human action sensors all highlight how important technology is in forming our cyber spectrum. In the age of surveillance capitalism, this study will highlight Pakistan's heavy reliance on data and examine the country's need for a strong big data governance framework. It highlights the absence of a cohesive national framework while pointing out privacy and data management shortcomings. In order to safeguard and use big data for advancements in both economics and security, it also promotes the creation of a central data management system and strict data protection regulations.
