In Astana, at the Eurasian Economic Forum, the heads of state of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member countries adopted the Joint Statement on the Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence within the EAEU.

The initiative to develop the document was announced by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, at the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on December 21, 2025. The proposal was supported by all EAEU member states.

The Joint Statement aims to develop practical cooperation among EAEU countries in the field of artificial intelligence, exchange experience, best practices, and technological solutions, as well as interaction in economic sectors where AI is already becoming an important factor in increasing efficiency and competitiveness. The document also provides for the development of economic and technological cooperation, taking into account the national digital sovereignty of the Eurasian "five" countries.
 
Kazakhstan consistently promotes the digital development agenda, considering artificial intelligence as one of the key drivers of economic growth, productivity enhancement, and the creation of new opportunities for businesses and citizens.

In the context of the nationwide policy of ubiquitous digital technology development and the declared Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, the adoption of the Joint Statement within the EAEU in Astana underscores the relevance of the digital agenda promoted by the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Overall, the document defines the common principles for the responsible use of AI technologies within the EAEU. It is worth noting that the key objectives of the Joint Statement are to ensure the free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor, accelerate the digitalization of key economic sectors of the EAEU member states, ensure non-discriminatory and ethical use of AI, and enhance the global competitiveness of the EAEU member states.
