AI Blossoms in Kazakhstan: Unveiling the Nation's Strategy and Ambitious Plans

AI: A Key Driver in Kazakhstan's Progress

Kazakhstan has set its sights on artificial intelligence (AI), propelling the nation into a future brimming with digital potential. Three strategic pillars are the cornerstone of this AI-focused journey: institutional structure, technological infrastructure, and human capital. The country is shifting gears, transforming its AI development vision into a comprehensive, nationwide AI strategy, armed with supporting legislation [1][2].

The Milestones Ahead

  1. The Kazakh AI Revolution: A groundbreaking Kazakh-language AI model, fueled by 148 billion tokens, made its grand entrance in December 2023 and is now open to the public [1][2].
  2. The Birth of the National AI Platform: This platform has been brought to life, offering data, computing resources, and pre-built models to those eager to dive into the AI realm [1][2].
  3. AI and Innovation Driving Force: Established in 2023, this governing body steers AI policy and navigates coordination across government entities [5].

Forging Ahead

  • National AI Strategy: The strategy's goal is to bolster digital innovation, refine governance, and elevate global competitiveness in AI by legislating its ethical and legal frameworks [2].
  • SectoralAI Conquests: While specifics on AI projects in agriculture, transport, and medicine remain scarce, the emphasis on fostering human capital and technological infrastructure hints at future breakthroughs in these sectors.

The Alem.ai Center: A Mystery Unraveled?

Great attention has been paid to Kazakhstan's AI initiatives, but the "Alem.ai center" remains shrouded in mystery. It's plausible that, as part of this digital journey, the country may establish multiple research and development centers [6].

Sectoral Triumphs

Although details on AI projects in agriculture, transport, and medicine are scarce, the infusion of AI into the public sector suggests potential future victories. Kazakhstan's extensive e-government experience could pave the way for AI integration in public services [4]. Furthermore, forthcoming developments like smart air traffic systems and industrial UAV applications indicate a commitment to integrating AI across various sectors [3].

Battling Deepfakes and Embracing the Law

A draft AI law is under consideration, designed to create a secure environment for AI usage, regulate intellectual property rights, and combat deepfake content [1][2]. The bill has been reviewed by 13 government bodies before its submission to the Mazhilis, the lower house of Parliament.

Turning Unicorns into Reality

Kazakhstan isn't just talking the talk; it's also walking the walk. Astana Hub, for instance, offers a platform for interdisciplinary teams to develop AI startups under the AI'preneuers acceleration program [6]. Last year, nine teams completed the program, with six of them receiving initial funding.

AI in Action: Cultivating Success

Apart from startups, Kazakhstan has implemented AI solutions in agriculture, transport, medicine, and more [7]. Agritech Hub, for one, crafts AI-based solutions using satellite data to monitor agricultural land and forecast yields. Egistic simplifies household management through mobile apps, while Parqour streamlines parking operations and enhances customer service. In the healthcare realm, Cerebra AI expedites stroke diagnosis in just ten minutes.
