Kazakhstan is positioning itself beyond its identity as a fossil-fuel-rich former Soviet republic by building a digital future. The government plans a transformation that combines data networks and connectivity lines with oil pipelines, leveraging natural resources and its location between Russia and China. The effort is led through the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, where deputy prime minister Zhaslan Madiyev presents high-tech transitions as part of daily life for about 20 million people. The program aims to move AI from a buzzword into international policy and practical use across restaurants, public services, and the broader economy. The transformation has been underway for about 10 years.
"A digital transformation across the nation is in play, looking to take advantage of the country's natural resources and its strategic geographic position between Russia and China to create a land where critical infrastructure encompasses data networks and connectivity lines in addition to oil pipelines. And where telcos are already primed to plug in to the opportunity coming from a national story that a global audience is ready to hear."
"Madiyev is helming what is claimed to be one of the most ambitious digital transformation programmes in Central Asia, where artificial intelligence (AI), aerospace and infrastructure will underpin daily life for 20 million people. Freedom Holding Group - a leading retail brokerage and investment bank in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, which has a variety of assets including one of Kazakhstan's leading telcos - believes that under Madiyev's watch, Kazakhstan has already boosted AI from a buzzword into international policy, making it part of life in restaurants, public services and the general economy alike."
"This story begins at Kazakhstan's Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, also home to a digital government, where the minister of the department and the country's deputy prime minister, Zhaslan Madiyev, is keen to show the country's high-tech transitions and just how advanced technology will play a part in the nation's future. This process has been 10 years in the making."
