Okay, so President Kassym‑Jomart Tokayev gets up, national TV, and he’s like, “Kazakhstan in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Like, big deal, right? The guy’s unveiling plans that sound like he binge-watched too much Silicon Valley and got ideas. 🚀
Apparently Kazakhstan is gunning to digitize the whole country in three years. Three years! I give my cousin three years to return my lawnmower and he still ghosts me. Now Tokayev wants a Digital Code-whatever that is-to regulate AI, platform economics (do you even know what that means? Because I don’t), and big data. Throw in a Ministry of AI and Digital Development at the “deputy prime-minister level,” because sure, you can never have too many ministries with confusing names running around. 🙄
But wait, there’s more: the Government and National Bank are supposed to whip up a $1 billion investment program. Maybe they’ll buy everyone a Peloton with AI-powered handlebars. And, because we all love laws that are rushed, he’s telling them to speed up a banking law for fintech, competition, and digital asset circulation. I read that and I hear, “Let’s make crypto as confusing as possible so no one knows if they still have money.”
Don’t forget the digital tenge. I have no idea how you pronounce it, but apparently it’s supposed to be used everywhere, budgets, state holdings, the works-hopefully it doesn’t mean your grandma can’t buy apples without scanning her retina.
Oh, and a State Fund for Digital Assets! Under the National Bank’s investment arm! It sounds fancy, like a Bond villain would say it before laser-blasting someone. “Release the crypto reserve!” 😆 All this, while also suggesting “strengthening cyberdefenses, anti-fraud measures, and biometric ID systems.” Because what’s more Kazakhstani than trusting your face to open a bank account?
