State-of-the-nation address: Members of Parliament highlight key points

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has identified digitalization and artificial intelligence as key drivers of Kazakhstan’s development. In his state-of-the-nation address, he emphasized the need to implement these technologies across the economy, social sphere, and public administration. This focus goes beyond the accelerated digitalization of sectors such as agriculture and geological exploration - it also involves creating a new ecosystem where decisions are guided by big data and precise forecasts. According to Members of Parliament, this emphasis reflects the country's strategic course toward a technological breakthrough.

«Today, the theme of digitalization and the integration of AI across all areas of life ran as a common thread throughout the President’s state-of-the-nation address. These efforts aim to enhance the efficiency of public administration, collect and analyze data, and, based on verified figures, develop strategies for the future growth of both industry and the social sectorsaid Senate member Evgeny Bolgert.

President Tokayev called for intensifying both the country’s digital development and efforts to attract investment. He instructed a full overhaul of the system to support these goals and clearly outlined the priority areas and volumes for investment.

«A full review of today’s Address shows that the President covered every sector. The main priorities have now been outlined, and we will use them to guide our worksaid Senate member Bekbolat Orynbekov
