In mid-July 2024, the government of Kazakhstan announced the adoption of the Concept for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) for 2024-2029, and the other day the document itself with all the legal and regulatory specifics appeared.
The concept is aimed at increasing the role of AI in various spheres of life, ensuring safety and ethics in the use of technologies, as well as the development of infrastructure and human capital.
First of all, the document focuses on the need for legal regulation in the field of AI.
The regulatory legal acts will enshrine the key aspects:
• conceptual apparatus,
• basic ethical principles of using AI,
• state regulation,
• liability of entities,
• prevention of the use of AI products for criminal purposes,
• safety standards and compliance with intellectual property laws,
• other principles and areas of regulation.
The development of standards and technical regulations should ensure the quality and safety of AI products.
An important element of the Concept is the development of ethical standards aimed at preventing discrimination, as well as protecting human rights and freedoms. These standards will take into account moral, spiritual and cultural values, ensuring that AI solutions comply with high standards of morality and justice.
One of the priorities of the Concept is to ensure the availability and quality of data. In this area, measures are envisaged to expand access to data, develop guidelines for data management and create training datasets.
The creation of a national AI platform based on Smart Data Ukimet will be an important step in the development of infrastructure. This platform will be an integrated system for the development, training and implementation of AI models, available to private and public organizations, startups and scientific institutions.
To develop human capital, the Astana Center for AI will be created on the basis of Nur Alem, which will promote AI culture among the population and develop the national idea of "Generative Nation". Open training courses, forecasting the need for personnel and supporting talents and startups will help ensure the training of highly qualified specialists in the field of AI.
Eurasian Digital Foundation experts actively participate in the dialogue with the state and the expert community, supporting the development and implementation of ethical norms and standards in the field of AI.
Earlier, based on foreign experience, we compiled a package of recommendations in the field of improving the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including:
- Ban mass and indiscriminate surveillance using video surveillance systems
- Ban 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 high and low risk using the example of the experience of regulating artificial intelligence in the EU
- Establish a ban on the use of a real-time biometric identification system by any users except law enforcement agencies
- When using facial recognition systems, government agencies should promote compliance with the principles of transparency, legality and necessity, as well as formulate policies for processing third-party data.
The concept of AI development in Kazakhstan for 2024-2029 is an important step in integrating this technology into various spheres of life.
"It is important to note that the implementation of ethical standards and security measures is aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, preventing discrimination and ensuring justice.

"It is important to note that the implementation of ethical standards and security measures is aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, preventing discrimination and ensuring justice.
I believe that active involvement of civil society in the implementation of this concept is necessary to ensure transparency and public control. The Eurasian Digital Foundation supports these initiatives and actively participates in the development of recommendations for improving legislation in the field of AI" - Ruslan Daiyrbekov, founder of the Eurasian Digital Foundation.
