In the upcoming year,
universities in Kazakhstan plan to introduce a new mandatory discipline –
artificial intelligence courses. According to the country’s Ministry of Science
and Higher Education, future specialists will be competitive in the labor
market, given the substantial demand for AI skills. This will be a domestically
developed teaching method, as no university in the world currently offers AI
learning courses, the ministry noted. The relevance of new specialists is
testified by strategic documents, for example, in the 2023-2025 prudent gas
consumption plan. As stated by the Ministry of Energy, AI will have to
determine the quantity of gas consumed by the population. It is also planned to
be integrated into the military service system.
