The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan has approved guidelines for the use of AI technologies in government agencies. The document, signed on November 27, 2024, defines approaches to the safe use of AI, taking into account legislation and data protection requirements.

The guidelines include recommendations for the use of AI in various areas of public administration, taking into account the requirements of legislation and the specifics of working with data.

The document concerns the use of foreign AI technologies, such as OpenAI ChatGPT, Google BigQuery ML, IBM Watson Analytics and others. All information obtained with their help must be verified by government employees for accuracy.

The use of AI is possible subject to compliance with the Law "On Personal Data and Their Protection". When processing personal data, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the subjects. It is recommended to depersonalize them to ensure security and confidentiality.

AI is allowed to be used to form legal opinions, but only as an auxiliary tool. Final decisions are made by competent specialists without full trust in the system's conclusions.

The document also contains a list of non-recommended practices. In particular, it is prohibited to use foreign AI services to prepare strategically important reports, letters and public speeches of the country's top officials.

Officials are prohibited from uploading classified documents or official data to foreign AI systems, as well as using such services to analyze them. Due to the risk of leaking confidential information.

Foreign machine translation services, such as ChatGPT, Google Translate and Yandex Translator, are not allowed to work with government data if their servers are located outside of Kazakhstan. This ban is enshrined in government requirements for information security.

It is prohibited to create "digital avatars" of top government officials, including the President, Prime Minister and heads of government agencies. An exception is made for videos that have no connection with real officials and are intended for general information.

The use of AI in the formation of internal documents of government agencies, such as regulations and job descriptions, is also limited. This is explained by the risks of disclosure of business processes and official information.

The adopted recommendations are aimed at improving cybersecurity and preventing data leaks when interacting with foreign AI systems. Their implementation will minimize possible risks.

The document has become another step in the digital transformation of public administration in Kazakhstan. It is important for the state to find a balance between technological development and ensuring the rights of citizens.
