ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 28. Kazakhstan intends
to scale up the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve
economic efficiency and expand digital services in the real sector,
Vice Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development
Dmitriy Mun said at the Eurasian Economic Forum, Trend reports.


According to him, the sovereign national artificial intelligence
platform is already actively used: civil servants have used it over
a million times, and citizens have used it over 2.5 million times
to access various government services.


"Everything that's obvious, where digitalized data already
exists, has been implemented, but we need more—the introduction of
AI into the real sector of the economy," Mun noted.


He added that a data atlas with over 7,000 parameters has been
created, of which 50-60% of the information has been digitalized so
far.


According to the vice minister, healthcare, education, social
services, and legal services already have 80-95% of their data
digitalized, while the non-agricultural sector has 26%, and
manufacturing has around 40%. This data is necessary for training
artificial intelligence models adapted to the country's conditions,
including climate and local production characteristics.


Mun emphasized that Kazakhstan is considering collaborating with
other countries to create industrial-scale small language models
that would function without internet access or expensive
supercomputers, which is especially important for farmers and
remote businesses.







"If we could establish joint university labs across various
industries and share anonymized data, we could more quickly develop
the first industrial-scale small language models," he added.


Mun highlighted AI assistants for legal consultations as a
priority practical application, which will consolidate the laws of
the Union countries in digital format. This will allow citizens to
quickly access information on legal procedures and entrepreneurs to
navigate tax and corporate regulations.


According to the official, the implementation of these solutions
in the coming years will lay the foundation for deeper, integrated
application of artificial intelligence in industry, energy, and
agriculture within the Eurasian Economic Union.
