The Kazakh capital has again
become the main communication platform of Central Asia, which is hosting the
Astana Media Week 2023. The annual event traditionally sets new trends in the
media industry. This time, the participants’ focus is placed on new digital
solutions, including data protection and the use of IT products.
“We are presenting a unique IT
product that operates based on artificial intelligence. There are certainly similar
products in the world, but the difference is that we can monitor all the media
outlets. We also have a special analytical center that conducts media analysis,”
said Daniyar Bibassar, CEO of IT сompany.
Industry experts agree that along
with solving problems related to the dissemination of false information and compliance
with ethics in social networks, modern media need to introduce innovations in
the field. Leading companies in the industry have gathered to exchange
experiences in Astana. This year they represent Turkey, Kazakhstan, Russia,
Azerbaijan, South Korea and Central Asian countries.
“I can say that the event, which
brought together not only representatives of the region and the Turkic world,
but also of other countries, is being held at a high level. Thus, the dialogue
takes place at the international level. I believe that holding the Astana Media
Week in Kazakhstan is a real indicator that your country’s media industry
serves as an example for others,” noted Mehmed Zahid Caliskan, head of Turkish
TV and Radio Company’s representative office in Kazakhstan.
“The Kabar Kyrgyz National News
Agency is ready to cooperate with the mass media of Kazakhstan and other
countries of the region. I think that this interaction is necessary to form a
common vision of information security in Central Asia,” shared Mederbek
Shermetaliev, director of Kabar Kyrgyz National News Agency.
It is worth noting that for the
first time in the history of the Astana Media Week 2023, the event will feature
independent authors of podcasts and digital content. Overall, it is expected
that more than 2,000 guests and 60 media managers will attend the three-day
sessions.
