Kazakh artificial intelligence will be implemented throughout the Turkic world. It is currently being developed by Nazarbayev University alongside other scientific and practical organizations. Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry Zhaslan Madiyev spoke in the Senate about the development of digital technologies in Kazakhstan. According to him, the country has ambitious plans to become a technological leader, actively integrating AI across all key sectors. A special committee has already been formed, a five-year development concept through 2029 has been approved, and a dedicated legal framework has been established to support the industry. Next year, the creatoin of a National AI Center is also planned, which, as the Minister noted, will include all necessary resources, such as an AI school, startup campus, and laboratories.
«We are developing a Kazakh large language model, referred to as KazLLM. Its development is essential for Kazakh companies to create technological products based on their own model, excluding reliance on foreign technologies while safeguarding national interests, personal data, and ideological independence. Currently, the model is actively being trained, with around 148 billion tokens already collected. It is built on 76 billion parameters, and the planned completion date for the model’s development is December of this year,» Madiyev said.
