Astana, November 17 (Xinhua) — Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the law "On Artificial Intelligence" and related legislative amendments. This was reported on Monday by the Kazinform news agency, citing the Kazakh presidential administration.

The law establishes for the first time the fundamental principles of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, establishing them as an object of information technology and a tool for achieving specific human goals. Owners and users are held responsible for risk management, security, and reliability of the systems. Key principles include legality, transparency, explainability, data protection, and prioritizing human well-being.

The document bans the creation and operation of AI systems that employ manipulative methods or violate personal data protection requirements. Mandatory labeling is introduced for products created using AI.

The legislation also includes provisions for a national AI platform designed for the development, training, and testing of models in a limited mode.

The digitalization amendments regulate the circulation of unsecured digital assets outside the Astana International Financial Center and strengthen the protection of personal data. Furthermore, information security requirements are being tightened, as well as the accounting of commodity transactions through cash registers using identification tools.
