Дата публикации
Teaching professor at the Higher School of Law at Maqsut Narikbayev University and EDF academic advisor Dana Utegen, as well as founder of the Eurasian Digital Foundation Ruslan Dayrbekov, are actively involved in dialogue with the state and the expert community on issues of regulating artificial intelligence (AI).

Having analyzed foreign experience in this area, experts compiled a package of recommendations in the field of improving legislation in Kazakhstan.

Dana Utegen voiced them in her report at the international forum “Technowomen Central Asia: AI Future” on the use of AI in biometrics, and Ruslan Dayyrbekov presented recommendations as part of a public discussion of the Digital Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, similar to the AI Act:

✓ Introduce a ban on mass and indiscriminate surveillance using video surveillance systems
✓ Prohibit the use of images of Kazakhstanis taken from publicly available sources for the purpose of replenishing biometric databases
✓ Develop a categorization of biometric systems with a high and low level of risk using the example of the experience of regulating artificial intelligence in the EU
✓ Establish a ban on the use of the real-time biometric identification system by any users except law enforcement agencies
✓ In addition, when applying facial recognition systems in practice, government agencies should promote compliance with the principles of transparency, legality and necessity, as well as establish policies for the processing of third parties

In addition, Ruslan Dayyrbekov offers:

- Provide in the Digital Code provisions (legal mechanisms) for assessing and preventing potential risks of the negative impact of the development and application of AI technologies on human rights and freedoms, similar to the AI Act and GDPR - AI Impact Assessment & Data Protection Impact Assessment;

- Provide for the obligation to create a Policy for the use and implementation of AI technology for the implementation of Article 9 of the draft Digital Code (Article 9. “ensuring transparency of the operation of algorithms using artificial intelligence to prevent discrimination of citizens on social, national, racial, gender and other grounds”) by means of an obligation.

Based on the best international practices and the learned experience of the EU, these recommendations can be adopted in Kazakhstan, making the regulation of the AI sector as close as possible to international best standards, transparent and aimed at the security of citizens’ data.
