Astana, January 18 /Xinhua/ — The Law "On Artificial Intelligence" has entered into force in Kazakhstan, establishing the legal framework for regulating the development and application of AI technologies. This was reported on Sunday by the Kazinform news agency, citing the country's Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development.

The law took effect 60 days after being signed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in November 2025. The document enshrines the priority of individuals, their rights, and freedoms in the creation and operation of artificial intelligence systems.

The law establishes principles of legality, transparency, and explainability of algorithms, accountability, personal data protection, and the security and reliability of AI systems. AI is classified by risk level, with high-risk systems in critical areas being treated as state-owned systems in terms of information security requirements.

The document prohibits the use of AI for manipulation, discrimination, and violation of personal data laws, and introduces mandatory labeling of synthetic content. Works created using AI are recognized as copyrightable only if they contain a human creative contribution.

The agency emphasized that the law is aimed at creating a responsible and human-centered model for the development of artificial intelligence in Kazakhstan. –0–
