The first integration of trusted third party segments of the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was demonstrated at the annual Digital Almaty 2025 forum. The technology aims to provide secure and legitimate interstate verification of electronic signatures.Trusted Third Party of the Republic of Kazakhstan (TTP RK) is an information system confirming authenticity of electronic signatures, including foreign ones, on Kazakhstan territory. It is the TTP that ensures the authenticity of a digital signature (DS) during cross-border electronic interaction between the information systems of the participating countries.The introduction of cross-border DS will help to significantly reduce the cost of paperwork and the time required to sign and confirm international transactions. The technology is also expected to increase trust in electronic and international transactions, which in turn will contribute to the further development of the economies of the EAEU countries.During the demonstration, the operators from the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation reported on the readiness of the national segments of the trusted third party for commercial operation and interstate testing.During the integration demonstration, the Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, Bakhytzhan Sagintayev, noted that the technology of mutual recognition of electronic signatures within the EAEU would help speed up business processes, simplify the flow of documents and improve the security of transactions between the countries of the Union.The development of digital technologies will remain a priority in the coming years, and further expansion of the use of DS will have a significant impact on strengthening international trade and economic ties.

"AI and humans: threat or benefit?" - this question was asked by leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence at a panel session held at the Digital Almaty-2025 forum, where they discussed the main issues of ethics, security, and regulation of AI.Experts considered important aspects of the transparency and security of the use of AI in Kazakhstan, control over its use, and international practices aimed at maintaining ethical standards. During the discussion, both the advantages and potential risks of artificial intelligence were discussed.According to the speakers, along with the spread of artificial intelligence in Kazakhstan, the risk of violating the confidentiality of personal data is also increasing. This causes significant harm to both individual users and the state as a whole. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in 2024, Kazakhstanis lost 45 billion tenge due to online fraud, and in 98% of cases they voluntarily gave their personal data to fraudsters."Cybercrime is growing rapidly not only in Kazakhstan, but also around the world. If we are not prepared for new threats, artificial intelligence will also provide criminals with significant opportunities. Fraudsters are already using deepfake technologies to fake video and audio recordings, which poses a significant threat to information security. It is important to think about deanonymization on the Internet, because everyone must be responsible for the data they distribute," said Saken Sarsenov, Vice Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The session participants included experts from various countries, including Toju Duke (Great Britain), founder and CEO of Bedrock AI and Diverse AI. He not only manages successful AI companies, but also actively promotes ethical standards in the development of artificial intelligence. In his book "Building Responsible AI Algorithms", he proposed a framework for transparency, fairness, confidentiality and trust in AI algorithms."Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly and offers many advantages, but only until it is equally accessible to society. The main areas of its application include combating hunger and improving healthcare, responding to crisis situations, increasing security, and supporting people with disabilities. However, it also poses significant risks, such as social inequality, privacy violations, algorithmic bias, and even threats to national security. Therefore, in order for the technology to benefit society as a whole, it is important to develop a responsible approach to the use of artificial intelligence, develop mechanisms for transparency, accountability and compliance with ethical standards," Toju Duke noted.The discussion was also attended by Dauren Makenov, Head of Flowsell.me, Alexander Krainov, Head of Yandex Machine Intelligence Lab, Ivan Kononov, Technical Director of Kscooters, and Damir Zharimbetov, Director of TargetAI Limited. The session was moderated by Igor Rogov, Chairman of the Human Rights Commission under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The speakers emphasized the need to introduce clear principles of regulation for the safe and effective development of AI, including data processing control, protection from manipulation, and reduction of negative impact on energy resources. It is also important to ensure the fairness of algorithms, eliminate discriminatory mechanisms, and develop reliable systems for testing AI before mass introduction.The speakers raised such important topics as training specialists to work with AI and the impact of technology on culture, media, and communications. In addition, the speakers discussed the changing labor market: will AI threaten traditional employment or become a tool that complements human efforts? The importance of maintaining a balance between automation and the human component was noted.Recall that from January 31 to February 1, the Digital Almaty-2025 International Forum will be held in Almaty at the Atakent exhibition complex. The theme of the event is "Industrial AI: Technologies for a New Era". The organizers of the forum are: the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Almaty Akimat and the State Enterprise "Innovative Technologies Park".

There is no such thing as a vacation in construction. Work should be “boiling”! Those responsible should demand work at the very beginning of construction. Otherwise, things will not work out. Why haven't the doors and windows that are supposed to be there according to the documents been allocated and installed? Why hasn't the heating been turned on? You only come here when I come, and you don't show any shade the rest of the time. Who are you fooling? Stop talking nonsense and finish school by the summer, - said Nuralkhan Kusherov.The regional head was also not satisfied with the interior decoration of the recently completed medical clinic. The medical facility that has been built in the Kozhatogay rural district was built within the framework of the national pilot project "Modernization of Healthcare in the Village". The akim gave 1 month to fix the shortcomings.- Would you put such poor doors in your houses? No! After investing a lot of money, you need to be responsible. This is a shame for your life. You are investing in people's money, there should be compassion! You are a citizen of this village, so your responsibility increases manifold. This is a place where your villagers come. Why not do it right away and do it properly? - said the akim.The heads of the responsible departments and the city akim have been given appropriate instructions on these issues.
