Kazakhstan to introduce AI solutions in healthcare and energy

By December 20, Kazakhstan will introduce AI into the healthcare and energy sectors. The order was given by the Prime Minister at a meeting of the digital headquarters for implementing the tasks set in the state-of-the-nation address. By November 15, domestic startups will be integrated into the healthcare system, including AI assistants for doctors and programs for detecting oncological diseases. By December 20, seven medical information systems will be consolidated into two on the Qaztech platform, which is expected to improve efficiency and ease the workload of doctors. The same deadline has been set for launching the industry information security center in the fuel and energy complex. By the start of winter, AI solutions will be introduced to help diagnose electricity and heating networks, ensuring a stable energy supply and smooth passage of the heating season.

«Today, there is a solution that allows using drones to quickly fly over, photograph, and record video footage, both of the lower and upper parts of infrastructure. In the future, based on the database of photos we are accumulating, along with the geolocation of each utility pole currently being mapped by the Energy Ministry, drones will be able to operate autonomously – without human control – flying along designated routes at scheduled times. Using AI, they will identify risks and detect defects, ensuring continuous monitoring throughout the heating season,» said Kazakh Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry Dmitriy Mun.
