The President instructed the President to speed up the development of artificial intelligence in our country at an extended meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers. By the end of the year, its elements will be integrated into the e-government system. In Kazakhstan, meanwhile, the Kazakh language model Kaz LLM was developed. This is artificial intelligence that understands and speaks Kazakh. A 24KZ correspondent found out how it differs from foreign analogues. Guldana Kalen, correspondent: - At first glance, the language model is just a tool for working with text, an analogue of the well-known GPT chat, which can process requests, generate responses and solve many other problems. But the main difference between Kaz LLM is that the platform understands all the subtleties of our mentality. That is, she was taught to understand the history and culture of Kazakhstan. All domestic literature, scientific works and modern content from open sources were uploaded to the platform. And all this, according to the developers, made it possible to adapt the model to national characteristics. Madina Abdurakhmanova, senior data analyst at the Institute of Smart Systems and Artificial Intelligence: - Unfortunately, the Kazakh language is one of the low-resource types of languages on the global Internet. That
There is much less information in written sources in the Kazakh language compared to, say, English, French, German or Russian. In order for Kaz LLM to identify our worldview in Kazakhstan - the way we see history, culture, family values, as well as the rights of our fellow citizens - we had to teach her a different vision of the world and a different way of working with the Kazakh language. The language model currently supports four languages: Kazakh, Russian, Turkish and English. She easily translates texts between them. The main advantage of Kaz LLM, according to the developers, is security and data protection. Information will not leave the country's borders. This is especially important for use in government agencies and large corporations, where data leakage can lead to serious risks. Madina Abdurakhmanova, senior data analyst at the Institute of Smart Systems and Artificial Intelligence: - Plus, we live in a time when, unfortunately, there are various sanctions. We have a multi-vector policy, but nevertheless, none of us is immune from the fact that certain services will be suspended simply because of problems with the Internet or because of certain decisions. Therefore, creating a model is artificial
intellectual intelligence within a country is truly a matter of national sovereignty. We must be self-sufficient, we must have our own products, which are made on a completely Kazakh core. The model is now being tested in practice. On its basis, voice assistants are created for government portals, tools for translation and text analysis, as well as document automation systems. According to forecasts of the relevant ministry, in the future Kaz LLM will become the basis for creating products in a variety of fields: from medicine to education. Darkhan Myrzabaev, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Development of the MCRIAP RK: - That is, a person, for example, who wants to create some kind of product in the field of medicine, for example, prescriptions, he needs a chatbot or an assistant for issuing prescriptions, help in how to take medications. In this direction, a person can further train his model using this data, add certain data on pharmaceuticals and create his own product in this direction. To create the model, it took not only modern technologies, but also a team of professionals. The project involved exclusively Kazakh programmers, analyst
ics and researchers. The main work took 8 months, but the base began to be prepared five years ago. Authors: Guldana Kalen, Order of Zharkyn.
