Tokayev named a critically important resource for the economy

Tengrinews.kz — The second meeting of the Council for the Development of Artificial Intelligence was held under the chairmanship of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, according to a statement from Akorda.
In his remarks, the President noted that the world has entered a fundamentally new stage of technological transformation.
According to him, the changes taking place are incomparable to the industrial revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries in terms of speed and depth, as they are erasing the boundaries between physical reality and the digital space.

“Artificial intelligence is becoming the backbone of the new global economy, while big data is turning into a critically important resource. In this regard, Kazakhstan views the development of artificial intelligence as a key strategic priority. Our goal is to transform Kazakhstan into a modern digital state. We have created the necessary institutional infrastructure, and now we must ensure the broad introduction of artificial intelligence into all sectors of the economy. At the same time, we will be guided by the principle of ‘technological prudence,’ while remaining firmly committed to national interests,” the President said.

The President instructed the government to submit proposals on assessing the impact of the digital economy on GDP.
