International experts share views on Kazakh President’s new book

«Thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, the global economy now stands on the brink of fundamental shifts.» These words by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev are featured in a new book titled Words of Truth for a Just Society. Spanning more than 300 pages, the book brings together statements made by the Head of State over more than three decades of his career. It is divided into 21 sections covering topics such as justice, law and order, science, culture, youth and digitalisation. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of digital technologies, which the President has identified as one of the country’s key priorities. Experts note that Kazakhstan is already among the leading countries in Central Asia in terms of AI infrastructure development. This progress is driven by government support and significant investment.

«We presented a study conducted at MIT in collaboration with local partners, including Silkroad Innovation Hub. The study shows that Kazakhstan is probably the most advanced country in Central Asia in terms of investment in AI infrastructure. We see strong political will, backed by significant funding and investment in infrastructure,» said Shamil Ibragimov, Director of Research at the MIT Kuo Sharper Center for Prosperity and Entrepreneurship.
