A young Pakistani woman, Kiran, has been reunited with her family 17 years after she went missing, thanks to advances in AI and facial recognition technology.

Kiran disappeared as a child in 2008 in Islamabad. At that time, she became separated from her family and found herself taken to an Edhi Centre by a kind stranger. Eventually, she was relocated to a shelter home in Karachi.

The Safe City Project, launched in Punjab, played a crucial role in tracing Kiran's family using advanced technology. This heartwarming reunion has highlighted the potential for technology to solve long-standing missing person cases.
