Kazakhstan Deploys AI Agents Across Presidential Administration and Government Bodies
Kazakhstan's government has moved beyond testing AI in isolated pilots. The Engineering and Technical Centre of the Department of Presidential Affairs now runs AI tools across multiple systems serving the Presidential Administration, Prime Minister's Office, and related agencies.
The shift reflects a practical approach: AI handles routine analysis and data processing while human officials retain decision-making authority. The centre director, Dauren Nuraliyev, said the goal is to reduce time spent searching documents and preparing analytical summaries.
What's Currently Running
The Situational and Analytical Complex, which won the WSIS Prizes 2025 award, now generates automated summaries from dashboard data and flags trends for the Department of Presidential Affairs. The system monitors over 800 indicators across subordinate organisations.
The Presidential Administration's version tracks 350 socio-economic indicators pulled from government databases. Since 2024, AI assistants running on a supercomputer have accelerated data search, report generation, and risk identification.
A mobile system called DECARD supports the Head of the Presidential Administration. Since September 2025, it includes a voice AI agent that converts written reports into audio-useful when reading lengthy materials isn't practical. The centre plans to add three more tools: voice-controlled instruction creation, a chatbot for answering questions about events and trends, and an automated quality checker for instruction execution.
The Unified Personnel System integrated an AI legal assistant in March 2026. Called Qazaq Law, it helps HR staff find regulatory documents, track legislative changes, and verify internal policies against current law.
Training and Staffing
The centre recognizes that deploying AI requires staff who understand it. Three employees graduated from the Academy of IT Architects this year after competing against 300 candidates. Around 20 others completed AI and digitalization training through specialized providers.
The centre partnered with Yandex Qazaqstan and the QAZ.AI Association to run seminars on AI applications in government. Last year, specialists trained in China through the SCO Tree Digital Technology Training Program.
The Human Element
Nuraliyev was direct on a common concern: AI will not replace specialists. The technology handles labour-intensive, repetitive tasks. Experts and managers make the final calls.
Human judgment remains decisive, even as AI improves information processing speed and reduces error likelihood.
