Artificial intelligence in agriculture will help increase
crop yields, reduce water and fertilizer consumption, and optimize farming
operations. Kazakh students enrolled in the national AI-Sana program are
implementing drone-based digital solutions in the agro-industrial sector. The
first stage of their training has already been completed, with over 9,000 participants
receiving certificates. Their next step is to develop startup projects using
neural networks. For instance, the agrarian university offers all the necessary
infrastructure, including a smart laboratory and dedicated centers for AI and
drone integration.
«These startups have the potential to reach the
international level. The AI-Sana program will provide such opportunities, enabling
startups to be monetized internationally, specifically in the agro-industrial
sector. Our university trains specialists for this field, including in
veterinary medicine and agrobiology,» noted Zaure Orazalina, Digital Officer at
the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University.
Other domestic universities are also participating in the
AI-Sana program, including the International Information Technology University and
Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University. They are also training specialists in digital
technologies. Notably, students from 26 higher education institutions across
the country have studied the fundamentals of neural networks. Additionally,
over 650,000 people have successfully completed basic courses organized for
Kazakh citizens.¤
