Experts in Astana discussed the prospects for the
development of artificial intelligence, the importance of its regulation, and
the ethical aspects of neural network applications. The event brought together
specialists from both Kazakhstan and France. The discussion covered the
outcomes of the international AI Action Summit held in Paris, as well as
opportunities for further cooperation between the two countries in this field,
particularly through the implementation of the Tomorrow School project within
the framework of the Alem.AI international center. This project offers a unique
opportunity for free AI training, even for those without prior programming
skills, and is modeled after the French 01 Edu system. According to French
Ambassador to Kazakhstan Sylvain Guiaugué, this initiative is a concrete
example of reinforcing academic ties between the two countries.
«There is an interest by our companies to have access to
Kazakhstani students, which have a good academic level. And also, the fact that
there could be an interest for French companies to make investments in
Kazakhstan, because you have a worldwide approach of making investments, and
investing in artificial intelligence is very capital costly. So, Kazakhstan
seems to be an interesting country for making an investment, because you have
the academic basis, you have the industrial basis, and also Astana is very
rapidly growing,» Guiaugué said.
«Kazakhstan will benefit from not only AI Action Summit that
was held in Paris and will be held again next year, but it will also benefit
from the participation in global partnership on AI (GPAI), where we can
exchange our ideas, our expertise, our regulation frameworks because Kazakhstan
right now is drafting its law on AI, and of course, we need to know what is the
best global practice in terms of advancing AI technologies in a more
sustainable, ethical manner,» said Kanysh Tuleushin, Kazakh First Vice Minister
of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry.
