Kazakhstan will soon host top executives from Google, marking the company’s first management-level visit to Central Asia, Minister of Digital Development Zhaslan Madiyev announced on his Instagram page.
«In a month, we expect a visit from Google’s top management to Kazakhstan; it will be the first visit of this level to Central Asia,» Madiyev wrote.
He added that a delegation from Kazakhstan recently held another meeting with Google partners to discuss the development of digital public services, partnerships in artificial intelligence (AI) and efforts to improve the digital skills and qualifications of civil servants.
«This marks a continuation of the regular dialogue, which over the past year has become systematic and led to tangible results. We have established consistent interaction — meetings are held monthly and sometimes twice a month. Such close coordination has accelerated and advanced work on several projects,» Madiyev said.
Previously, Madiyev announced that Kazakhstan and OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, agreed to collaborate on integrating AI into public services and education. Negotiations are underway to introduce KazLLM, a large language model for the Kazakh language, into OpenAI products, as well as to create e-government AI services and launch educational programs. OpenAI will also participate in major Kazakhstani forums, including the C5+1 Tech Conference, the Astana International Forum and Digital Bridge 2025.
