Kazakhstan has accelerated the buildout of its artificial intelligence ecosystem over the past three years, according to a statement from the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. The government highlighted the launch of alem.cloud, described as the region’s largest national supercomputing center and a technological backbone for the expanding artificial intelligence landscape, as reported by the Kazinform news agency on Oct. 20. Among flagship developments is AlemLLM, a Kazakh large language model that is now publicly available and used by universities, government agencies, and the domestic information technology community.
To support international growth, Kazakhstan is leveraging Astana Hub’s offices in the United States, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, China, and the UAE to export local information technology services and attract investors. The export of Kazakh information technology products, including artificial intelligence solutions, has exceeded 140 billion tenge. On the public services front, the National Artificial Intelligence Platform now includes more than 100 artificial intelligence agents that automate key e-government services such as Egov and e-Otinish. Built on open-source architecture, the platform has reduced administrative workloads and improved service accessibility for citizens.
Data-driven social policy is another focus. The Digital Family Map project, developed with the United Nations Development Programme, uses an artificial intelligence powered scoring model that aggregates real-time data from more than 120 sources to assess the well-being of over 6 million families nationwide. Sector deployments are expanding as well. In construction, a unified digital platform for project planning and tracking is under development. In agriculture and land management, satellite monitoring systems help analyze land and crop productivity, while digital tools are being introduced to optimize resource use and water sources.
Human capital initiatives underpin the broader strategy. Through the Artificial Intelligence Movement initiative, more than 400,000 people have received training via programs such as Artificial Intelligence-Sana, Artificial Intelligence-Qyzmet, and Artificial Intelligence-People aimed at the general public. By the end of 2025, the Artificial Intelligence-Corporate program will roll out for major state holdings, including Samruk Kazyna, Baiterek, and the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, as part of a goal to train 1 million citizens over five years. In education, the Ministry of Education is introducing Day of Artificial Intelligence, a course for schoolchildren in grades 1 to 4, with plans to expand it across all grade levels.
