Prospects for AI use discussed in Astana

Kazakhstan ranks among the leaders in Central Asia in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Most current projects are concentrated in GovTech, FinTech, and Smart City. However, now it is important to expand AI integration into other areas. As President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted, Kazakhstan aims to become one of the largest digital hubs in the Eurasian space. Digital transformation and the use of neural networks were key topics at the GenAI Day Conference in Astana. The expert platform brought together leading global companies and analysts in cloud technologies and machine learning. Specialists from Kazakhstan, Poland, and Germany shared examples of successful AI implementation in the public and private sectors.

«What tasks can AI help solve? For instance, document processing. Some documents contain handwritten data that must be digitized. Machine learning can be used to extract and store this data in a knowledge base. Additionally, generative AI can be applied for customer service through chatbots,» explained GenAI Day organizer Nurbek Sadykov.

«What we currently have in terms of AI development and implementation includes biometrics and AI-based scoring systems, particularly in credit scoring. At this stage, AI is mainly a tool – something you can use for help in your work,» added Alexey Nikonorov, head of the monetization and data unit at Kazakhstan’s First Credit Bureau.
