Kazakhstan will use
artificial intelligence (AI) to assign conscripts to military branches. The
country’s Ministry of Defense is developing a new digital platform to replace
the outdated conscription system by enabling a personalized selection based on
an analysis of candidates’ personal data, including place of birth, education,
marital status, height, weight, and other characteristics. Based on this
information, the system will help accurately assign conscripts to the most
suitable military units. The platform is scheduled for
launch by year-end.
«We are already
working within an electronic system that allows us to determine who is subject
to conscription and who is not. The latter are primarily
students and individuals with disabilities, who are placed on a separate list. In
addition, we send SMS notifications to students informing them that they are
not required to report to military enlistment offices. Now, however, we want to
go a step further - the system will assist us by enabling a more targeted
selection of conscripts,» noted Kazakh
Deputy Defense Minister Darkhan Akhmediyev.
