TURKMENBASHI, Turkmenistan, October 8.
Kazakhstan has proposed developing a declaration on the responsible
use of artificial intelligence (AI) by the Central Asian states and
Azerbaijan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said on Oct. 8 at the
eighth Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia
and Azerbaijan in Avaza, Turkmenistan, Trend’s special correspondent reports.
Tokayev said Kazakhstan was consistently building a
comprehensive AI ecosystem, noting that the country had adopted an
AI law, was implementing the Digital Kazakhstan strategy, had
launched supercomputer clusters and had an international OpenAI
center.
“Given the exceptional importance of this topic, I propose
considering the preparation of a Central Asian Partnership on
Artificial Intelligence program so that all our research centers,
universities and technology companies can exchange information and
experience,” he said.
According to Tokayev, the safe use of neural networks is a
fundamental condition.
“This issue has now reached the international level and is being
actively discussed. The risks associated with it are already
becoming the subject of serious international discussion. In my
view, we should begin jointly developing approaches to ensure
control over critically important technologies,” he said.
“Taking this into account, Kazakhstan has proposed developing a
declaration on the responsible use of artificial intelligence by
the Central Asian states and Azerbaijan,” Tokayev added.
