Kazakhstan has accelerated its work in artificial intelligence technologies over the past three years, according to the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development.
The nation launched alem.cloud, the region’s largest supercomputing hub. The new center strengthens the artificial intelligence network powering Kazakhstan’s expanding tech landscape, Kazinform reported on Oct. 20. One major milestone is AlemLLM, a large Kazakh language model now utilized by schools, government institutions, and IT professionals.
Kazakhstan continues to promote local IT exports and attract investors through Astana Hub’s global offices in the United States, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, China, and the UAE. Exports of local IT products, including AI services, have surpassed 140 billion tenge, equal to about USD 260 million.
Digital governance has advanced with the National AI Platform, featuring over 100 automated agents that support online public services like Egov and e-Otinish. Built on open-source technology, this artificial intelligence network has improved accessibility while easing government workloads.
The government also prioritizes social analytics through the Digital Family Map project, created with the UNDP. This data-driven system combines information from more than 120 sources to evaluate the well-being of six million families.
AI applications now reach across key industries, from construction to agriculture. A digital project management system is being developed for builders, while satellite monitoring tracks crop productivity and land conditions to optimize water and resource use.
Kazakhstan is also strengthening talent development through its AI Movement programs. More than 400,000 people have received training under initiatives such as AI-Sana, AI-Qyzmet, and AI-People.
By late 2025, the AI-Corporate program will begin for major national enterprises, aiming to train one million citizens within five years. A school-based “Day of AI” course will soon introduce young learners to artificial intelligence concepts nationwide.
