The year 2024 has been significant for
Kazakhstan in the field of artificial intelligence development. The AI
Committee was established, the AI Development Concept was approved, and work on
the corresponding draft law began. The KazLLM language model, created last
year, will give a new boost to the industry and become the foundation for a
range of technological solutions. New neural networks are already being
developed based on it, including virtual assistants for eGov and other
platforms. A key milestone in the country’s AI movement will be the Alem.ai International
Artificial Intelligence Center aimed at developing technologies in key sectors
such as science, industry, creative industry, and public services.
«The center will also contribute to the
creation of an AI ecosystem to attract investment and support startups.
Currently, the Ministry is in negotiations to set up offices for companies such
as Telegram, TON, Tether, Indrive, Google, and others at the center for
conducting research projects and developing new AI products. The Digital Almaty
2025 forum is an excellent platform for attracting BigTech companies to the
International AI Center,» noted Gizzat Baitursynov, Chairman of the Artificial
Intelligence and Innovation Development Committee, Kazakh Ministry of Digital
Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry.
The Digital Almaty international forum will
take place on January 31 and February 1. It will be an important stage in finding
solutions for economic development and showcasing advanced technologies in the
field of artificial intelligence. The forum will bring together heads of
government from EAEU countries, subsoil users, business representatives, and IT
industry professionals. Over 40,000 people are expected to attend the two-day
event. Domestic experts and leaders of global IT giants will share their
experience in implementing AI. In total, more than 200 speakers from 21
countries will participate in the forum.
