Tomorrow, May 15, the Informal Summit of the Council
of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) will take place in
Turkistan. The meeting will focus on artificial intelligence and digital
development. The parties are expected to discuss the impact of technology on
the economy, strengthening regional integration, and joint initiatives in the
field of AI. The summit could become an important platform for enhancing
strategic dialogue among the Turkic states. Member of the Mazhilis, the Lower
House of the Kazakh Parliament, Aidos Sarym emphasized that cooperation within
the Organization goes beyond cultural and historical interaction. The states
are already developing model laws to harmonize the legislation of member
countries and are coordinating joint efforts at the interparliamentary level.
«The upcoming summit of heads of state will focus on
artificial intelligence, an area where Kazakhstan has already built a strong
foundation. We have a Digital Code, which has been presented to our colleagues
in Uzbekistan and the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as at TURKPA. We also have a
separate law on artificial intelligence, which we were among the first to
introduce. Moreover, we have even enshrined these issues in the Constitution. I
believe we will have a lot to share,» said Aidos Sarym, member of the Mazhilis, the Lower House of the Kazakh
Parliament.
Experts express the view that the OTS is transforming from a historical and cultural association into an important geo-economic platform. This shift is directly influencing technological development and educational processes in the region.
«As part of the educational programs, student exchange
is taking place. There is also a training course for teachers called
Partnership. It is important to note that cooperation within these programs
goes beyond a single semester, with both countries fully utilizing their
resources, particularly in the development of artificial intelligence,» MNU Professor Bakyt Tolegenov said.
