Kazakhstan to introduce AITU messenger in all government agencies

Kazakhstan will require all government agencies and quasi-public organizations to switch to the national messenger AITU by September 15. The decision was announced at a Digital Headquarters meeting in Astana chaired by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov. The new body will be responsible for the rapid coordination of decisions and the introduction of digital technologies in state structures and the quasi-public sector. A comprehensive plan has already been approved to integrate 224 state information components, which will eliminate duplication of systems and discrepancies in statistical data. Currently, the e-government architecture includes more than 355 systems and web resources. The government has also adopted a plan to unify information systems and approved regulations for managing data arrays to support AI development. All government bodies, regional administrations, and quasi-public organizations are now required to transfer their data to the Smart Data Ukimet platform.

«All these steps will improve the quality of public services, speed up the launch of new ones, enhance public administration efficiency, and integrate AI into the economy. These decisions should directly impact citizens’ quality of life. The Digital Headquarters is tasked with accelerating interdepartmental approvals, which are often delayed. Its decisions are mandatory for all government agencies, regional administrations, and quasi-public organizations,» said Kazakh Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry Zhaslan Madiyev.
