Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency on Wednesday launched Katalyst, an AI-enabled investigative tool developed with the UK-funded UPSCALE programme to detect, prioritise, and investigate online child sexual exploitation and abuse. Officials including Minister Talal Chaudhry and British High Commissioner Jane Marriott said Katalyst will raise NCCIA's review capacity from about 1,200 to over 100,000 NCMEC referrals per month, strengthening national child-protection investigations.
