Era of Artificial Intelligence. Based on large-scale digitalization and
active implementation of AI technologies, the Head of State said, the entire economy should be

«The launch of a
supercomputer in our country is certainly a success, but it should be seen by
the government
and society as only the beginning of intensive, multi-dimensional efforts to
turn Kazakhstan into a truly digital state. To effectively achieve this goal,
the government
will develop a unified conceptual document on digitalization and AI, Digital Qazaqstan, which will consolidate
all initiatives and projects into a nationwide strategy. At the same time, the
deep digital transformation of the country is ultimately a path to improving
the lives of our citizens,» Tokayev said.
Digital technologies are changing the global labor
market. The demand for specialists who can work with AI is increasing worldwide.
In Kazakhstan, the AI-Sana program has already been launched, aimed at engaging
