of the sector. A national strategy is in development, and a draft law ‘On artificial
intelligence’ is under consideration by Parliament members. According to
experts, the creation of an International Artificial Intelligence Center in
Kazakhstan will make a significant contribution to the advancement of neural
networks. It will serve as a platform that brings together startups, the
scientific community, government agencies, the quasi-public sector,
laboratories, and international experts. The Alem.AI building, which spans
eight floors, is expected to house educational institutions for school

where students study independently, without traditional instructors. The sixth
floor will be dedicated to the AI campus, support for AI startups, acceleration
and incubation programs. We also plan to host representatives of venture
capital funds there, enabling immediate financing for priority startups. The seventh
floor is expected to house R&D centers - specifically, AI laboratories,» noted
