Kazakhstan's sovereign wealth fund, Samruk-Kazyna, has introduced SKAI, an AI-generated independent board director, marking a first in Central Asia. This AI system, trained on internal documents since 2008, aims to enhance decision-making within the fund. Presented to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the 2025 Digital Bridge forum in Astana, SKAI operates on a supercomputer and processes data locally. Kazakhstan is positioning itself as a leader in AI adoption, with plans for a digital economy and a unified AI ecosystem, including the launch of an AI research university and the Alem AI Centre. The country is also fostering startups and international collaborations to enhance its digital sovereignty. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
