At a parliamentary hearing on the development of artificial intelligence, Majilis deputy Yekaterina Smyshlyayeva stated that the current system of digital law needs to be revised. According to her, the country must begin preparing a new type of specialist.
Risks and Oversight
In Smyshlyayeva’s view, digital law in the era of rapid AI adoption must be accompanied by expertise and systemic oversight. Already today, it is necessary to check algorithms for bias, resilience, and security. This is required to ensure that decisions made with AI participation remain transparent and do not create additional risks for society.
National Standards and Indexes
Kazakhstan will need to update and implement technical standards that account for both international experience and national specifics. At the same time, Smyshlyayeva stressed the importance of developing national indexes for measuring AI adoption, since international rankings do not always reflect the actual situation and can be misleading for internal decision-making.
