Sixty days after its signing, the law officially entered into force on January 18, as reported by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development. The law establishes the legal framework for the use of artificial intelligence technologies and enshrines the key principle of state policy — the priority of human rights, freedoms, and well‑being.
Human life and free will are considered the highest value in the creation and operation of AI systems. The use of technology must not restrict a person’s ability to make conscious decisions, and personal autonomy must be preserved at all stages of application.
Users must be provided with full information about the capabilities, characteristics, and limitations of AI solutions to ensure their proper and targeted use.
Citizens gain the right to be informed about automated data processing, its consequences, and the ability to object to such processing and use mechanisms to protect their rights.
The document establishes clear distribution of responsibility among owners and users of AI systems. All participants are obliged to monitor their functioning, manage risks, and bear responsibility for outcomes.
The creation and operation of AI systems must take into account energy efficiency requirements and reducing negative environmental impact.
The law also introduces classification by autonomy level — from human‑involved decisions to fully autonomous systems.
Transparency requirements are enshrined: users must know when goods or services are created using AI. Synthetic content must be labeled, and copyright is recognized only with human creative contribution.
The adopted act incorporates recommendations from the Eurasian Digital Foundation, including bans on AI systems that use subconscious or manipulative methods, biometric analysis without consent, or mass facial recognition in public spaces.
