Kazakhstan has approved its first national standards in artificial intelligence (AI). This is an important step in implementing the Concept for the Development of Artificial Intelligence for 2024–2029, approved by the government.

Seven standards have been developed that set uniform rules for everyone working with AI technologies—from developers and businesses to government agencies. They cover all key stages of the AI ​​lifecycle: from general concepts and system architecture to risk management and big data analysis.

One of the key documents of the ST RK is ISO/IEC 5339. It describes general principles for all types of AI applications—from conversational systems like ChatGPT to industrial and medical solutions.

One of the standards specifically notes the need to protect user privacy. This means not only the security of data used in system training and operation, but also the prevention of unauthorized access and ensuring that AI does not accidentally disclose personal information.

The new standards could also form the basis for certifying organizations working with artificial intelligence. This will allow Kazakhstani companies to confirm compliance with international requirements and increase trust among partners and consumers both domestically and in foreign markets.

Thus, the standards not only regulate technology, but also foster a culture of responsible and informed use of artificial intelligence, which is becoming a key condition for Kazakhstan's successful digital transformation.

At the same time, work is underway to establish a testing and reference center for artificial intelligence, which will include an AI Standards Hub—a laboratory, certification, and testing center. The center will serve as a platform for collaboration with ISO, ITU, OECD, and other international organizations shaping the future of responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Relevant government agencies, IT communities, and scientific organizations, as well as the National Information Technologies JSC and the Internet Association of Kazakhstan, actively participated in the development of the standards.
