Launching a national supercomputer is a
strategic step for Kazakhstan in building its digital infrastructure, strengthening
digital sovereignty, and accelerating the development of artificial
intelligence (AI). This was stated by Minister of Digital Development,
Innovation and Aerospace Industry Zhaslan Madiyev, who noted that the
supercomputer will be used to address a wide range of tasks, including climate
change modelling, forecasting, the development of new medicines and materials,
big data analysis, and the advancement of neural networks. Kazakhstan is
already preparing specialists to work with this supercomputer, with the
necessary training infrastructure in place.
«This technology enables extremely large-scale
and high-speed computations in a single second. As you are aware, AI
technologies are evolving rapidly worldwide today. This marks the next level of
digitalization. We will prioritize providing computational power to Kazakh
startups, especially those registered at the Astana Hub. This will serve as a
form of state support to help them foster their competitiveness. The
supercomputer will also be available to the scientific community for research,
allowing scientists to make discoveries and obtain patents for their
innovations,» Madiyev said.
