TIANJIN, China, September 1. Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev highlighted the need to strengthen cooperation in high technology and digitalization during his speech at the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Trend reports.
President Tokayev underscored that this imperative has escalated in urgency. By 2033, the market for artificial intelligence (AI) is projected to ascend to a staggering $5 trillion, with its penetration in the global technology sector anticipated to escalate to 30 percent.
“Progress in this field is evident and outpaces development in other strategic sectors. I am convinced that the SCO can become a global leader in accelerated AI development. Therefore, we support China’s proposal to establish a Global Organization for AI Cooperation and are ready to make our contribution to this critically important initiative. We advocate for effective collaboration across the entire digital agenda, including implementing ‘smart solutions’ in the real economy, healthcare, transport and logistics, and urban management,” Tokayev said.
In a strategic initiative, the Kazakh president advocated for
the establishment of an SCO Expert Forum on Artificial
Intelligence, designed to convene periodically among the member
states of the SCO.
“The inaugural convening is strategically scheduled to occur in
Astana, coinciding with the prestigious Digital Bridge Forum.”
Furthermore, in 2027, Kazakhstan aims to convene a High-Level
Conference focused on the integration of Artificial Intelligence
within the frameworks of SCO Economies. In the upcoming fiscal
year, we are strategically positioned to convene delegates from SCO
media entities to engage in a comprehensive dialogue regarding the
multifaceted challenges of information policy within the context of
the evolving technological landscape,” the head of state
articulated.
