"We need to build an economy based on knowledge and innovation. To be a technologically and economically advanced country, it is important, first of all, to pay special attention to the development of human capital, digitalization and artificial intelligence. We cannot do without it in our time. Now all of humanity lives in a digital world. According to experts, the efficiency of artificial intelligence technology will grow every year. Therefore, we are faced with ambitious tasks to make Kazakhstan the largest digital hub in Eurasia. It is necessary to take a fresh look at the issues of digital development," Tokayev said.
The President reminded that he had put forward an initiative to create a National Center for Artificial Intelligence. He proposed to supplement this idea and make the Center international, turning it into a key institute for the development of artificial intelligence in the region.
"The AlemAI International Center should become the epicentre of the AI movement and a symbol of the digital transformation of Kazakhstan. This platform will unite the best minds of our country and attract talents from all over the world. Research and development laboratories, a programming school and offices of international technology companies will be located here. Astana Hub and AlemAI should become a real innovation factory, attracting international partners, stimulating scientific research and creating solutions for all key sectors of the economy, education and social sphere,” he said.
