The amount saved in favor of citizens is 550 million tenge. tenge.In 2025, it is planned to improve the work of justice bodies in order to make people's lives easier and more convenient in the digital era, as well as save time and money.Main changes:In 2025, it is planned to train more than 300 thousand citizens in legal literacy;ZI - "Aiteke" assistant - a chat bot designed to provide simple legal advice and help collect documents.The competence of the robot bailiff will expand, and the limit on the amount of debt it can handle will increase from 20 to 40 MCI, which will allow citizens to save up to 12.2 billion tenge per year.These tools are distinguished by their simplicity, speed and accessibility, allowing them to be used at any time of the day.The measures taken will increase the legal literacy of citizens and help them become more aware of their rights and obligations. As a result of the work on simplifying service provision, Kazakhstanis will save time and money, increase the accessibility and convenience of obtaining these services, and eliminate administrative barriers, making the process more transparent and efficient.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/936288

Among them is the technology for developing difficult-to-extract deposits. The use of this technology ensures a reduction in the loss of minerals in the massif. Scientists have shown this on the example of the Zhezkazgan deposit.A methodology for technical and technological audit in quarries is presented. With the help of this methodology, specialists can find the most effective way to conduct mining operations, while receiving an economic result of more than 1 billion tenge per year.A new methodology for making management decisions to optimize all stages of the operation of geotechnological complexes of quarries is proposed.An innovative automated system for controlling ventilation of underground mines has aroused genuine interest. Such systems are necessary to ensure satisfactory working conditions and significantly increase the safety of workers. Scientists are confident that their own production and software using artificial intelligence will allow achieving economic feasibility and creating favorable working conditions.

From March 24, 2025, changes to the rules for registering subscriber mobile devices will come into force. The new rules apply only to new devices imported into the country after 03/24/2025. Phones that already exist in the territory of Kazakhstan and are included in the Identification Codes Database (ICD) will automatically be included in the "white list" and will continue to operate without any restrictions.These innovations are aimed at further improving the registration system, combating fraud, protecting consumer rights, and increasing the security of using mobile devices.Today, about 3.7 million devices with duplicate IMEI codes are registered in Kazakhstan. Their illegal import poses a significant economic and social problem. Such a mobile device market makes it difficult to control the legal circulation of devices, contributes to the increase in phone theft and creates unfair competition.In order to solve these problems, new rules have been introduced to ensure an open and secure mobile device market.The main innovation is the verification procedure for mobile devicesDuring registration in accordance with the new rules, a special system checks the following parameters:The authenticity of the device's IMEI codeThe absence of the IMEI code in the GSMA international database of stolen, blocked or lost devicesThe device was legally imported into the territory of KazakhstanNote: The changes apply only to devices newly imported into the territory of Kazakhstan. Existing mobile phones that are already included in the ICD database will automatically be included in the “white list” and will continue to work without any restrictions.What lists will appear?As a result of verification, mobile devices are divided into three categories:White list - devices that have successfully passed verification, they will be registered without any restrictions.Gray list - temporarily allowed devices. Their owners must confirm that the device was imported legally within 30 days.Black list - illegally imported, counterfeit or stolen devices. They will be blocked.How will this affect users?Phones that are already in use in Kazakhstan will continue to work without any restrictions. No additional action is required.Buyers of new devices after March 24, 2025 can check the IMEI code on the imei.rfs.gov.kz website before purchasing a device. The site is currently being updated in accordance with the new rules.Owners of devices on the “gray list” can use the device for 30 days. During this time, operators will notify about the need to verify the device via SMS. The message will provide a link to a special questionnaire that must be filled out.Owners of devices imported from abroad must indicate the date of crossing the border.If the user does not pass verification within 30 days, they can complete the verification process at any time by filling out the questionnaire using the link in the message.These measures will give consumers confidence in purchasing legal and high-quality devices. Open conditions for fair competition will be created for business, and the state will strictly control imports, reduce the number of illegal phones, and reduce the level of fraud.When will they come into force?The new rules will come into force 60 days after the date of official publication - on March 24, 2025.Citizens have no reason to worry - owners of officially registered devices do not need to take any additional action. The Ministry will continue information work on the introduction of the new rules.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mdai/press/news/details/936455
