NVIDIA's CEO Huang said Kazakhstan could be a global physical artificial intelligence center

Huang, who visited Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, for the first time, answered the questions of Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan and Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development Jaslan Madiyev at the event organized by Astana Hub at the International Artificial Intelligence Center Alem.AI.

Pointing out the importance of artificial intelligence for the economic development and global competitiveness of countries, Huang stated that this technology is not only about digital products, but also creates a new industrial field.

Pointing out that energy, data and high processing capacity are needed to develop and operate artificial intelligence systems, Huang said that Kazakhstan can transform its natural resources into added value in the field of technology.

“In the future, instead of just exporting energy, you can convert energy into AI capacity and export that capacity,” Huang said. he said.

Emphasizing the importance of countries developing their artificial intelligence capacities by processing their own data, Huang stated that data reflects the culture, history and values ​​of societies and that they should be considered as a strategic resource.

Huang stated that countries should have the capacity to deliver artificial intelligence services to their own societies with their own energy networks, internet and telecommunication infrastructures.

Stating that adapting open source technologies to local languages, cultures and needs will contribute to the development of countries' own artificial intelligence infrastructures, Huang stated that Kazakhstan has important opportunities in this regard with its human resources in the fields of science, mathematics and technology.
