In his address, Tokayev emphasized that the world is entering a new era filled with unique opportunities and new challenges, among which is the growing technological inequality.
Analysts predict that in recent years, global investments in artificial intelligence have exceeded one trillion dollars, and in the future, the contribution of AI to the global economy could exceed ten trillion dollars.
“Our goal is to use new technologies for the benefit of our peoples and make them an important element of Eurasian economic integration,” the president emphasized.
He also added that AI technologies are already helping to effectively forecast trade flows and accurately assess the impact of customs duties and trade agreements on the economic development of countries.
According to Tokayev, Kazakhstan aims to become a fully digital country. Initiatives such as the Alem.ai Center in Astana and the CryptoCity pilot zone in Alatau confirm the commitment to actively develop the digital ecosystem.
As part of the Eurasian Economic Forum, which will take place in 2026 in Astana, the President of Kazakhstan proposed signing a Joint Statement on the Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence within the EAEU.
