Kazakhstan's new AI law prioritizes safety, transparency, fairness, explainability, data privacy, and human well-being, while prohibiting AI systems that manipulate users or illegally process personal data.

The law bans AI that can manipulate or subliminally influence people and restricts improper collection or processing of personal data to protect public order and individual rights.

Amendments strengthen information security requirements, and the text will be publicized in the press to ensure accessible understanding.

A second block of amendments aligns related laws with the AI framework and addresses broader digitalization and regulatory matters, complementing an initial alignment phase.

Amendments expand the regulation of unsecured digital assets beyond the Astana International Financial Centre and tighten personal data processing controls, including purpose-limited consent periods.

The legislation aims to attract international investment and spur AI innovation, enabling AI solutions across sectors like health, education, transport, security, and public administration while fostering a trustworthy digital market.

A national AI platform will be established to develop, train, and pilot AI models, supporting local models with data and computing resources to strengthen technological sovereignty.
