A center for artificial
intelligence will appear at the Astana Hub International Technopark this year. According
to the Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace
Industry, the center will become a leading platform for implementing advanced
global practices in the field of artificial intelligence and neural networks.
It aims to bring together representatives of government agencies, business
communities, academics, digital innovation, and other areas. Also, an expert
council will be created at the center. There are plans to launch 100 startups
annually and train a thousand new specialists, as well as to achieve export
revenue of $1 billion by 2026. A supercomputer will be developed to form
computing power in the country. It will serve as a collection of server
equipment for processing vast amounts of data and performing large-scale
computational operations.
“On a single platform via smart
government, we are gathering information that will be later provided to our
consumers for the development of artificial intelligence products. To harness
its computational power, we plan to launch a supercomputer in Kazakhstan in
collaboration with the G42 company in the middle of the year,” said Gizat
Baitursynov, Spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development,
Innovation and Aerospace Industry.
