Kazakhstan is taking another step in the digitalization of public administration. The Ministries of National Economy and Artificial Intelligence have launched a pilot project, the "Register of Mandatory Requirements in the Sphere of Entrepreneurship." This is a digital service based on machine learning algorithms, designed to radically simplify access for businesses to current legal norms.
How the new AI service works
The system automatically analyzes existing regulatory legal acts, identifies requirements imposed on entrepreneurs, systematizes them, and promptly updates the information. The agencies emphasize that the main goal of the project is to reduce the administrative burden on businesses, increase regulatory transparency, and create a more predictable business environment.
Automatic analysis of legislation significantly saves time and resources that entrepreneurs spend on searching for and studying requirements for a specific type of activity. Structured information helps businesses better navigate the norms and reduces the risk of accidental violations. Additionally, the service allows for prompt tracking of changes in regulations and timely incorporation of them into company operations.
The pilot project is implemented in execution of the instruction from the president's address of September 8, 2025, "Kazakhstan in the Era of Artificial Intelligence." The two ministries signed a joint order. Currently, the new functionality is available on the digital AI platform for businesses, and soon the service will also appear on the eGov Business portal.
Kazakhstan's digital agenda
The bet on technology in Kazakhstan is being made not only in the sphere of business regulation. Earlier, the Chairman of the Committee for Digital Assets and Breakthrough Technologies called the country one of the most developed CIS jurisdictions in the field of digital assets, alongside Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. According to him, the republic has built a comprehensive regulatory system, from mining licensing to the development of tokenization and pilot projects for stablecoins.
In parallel, the authorities are forming a state crypto reserve. The president detailed its creation in September 2025: the reserve will be replenished through confiscated assets, and management will be undertaken by a digital asset fund based on the National Bank. The United States is building its crypto reserve on the same principle.
A special role in these plans is assigned to the city of Alatau, which the authorities want to turn into a platform for business and technology projects. To this end, the president instructed the preparation of a draft decree on the special status of the city with direct subordination to the government.
My view: The launch of the AI register is not just administrative convenience, but a signal of the maturity of the country's digital infrastructure. Kazakhstan is consistently building an ecosystem where technology works to reduce barriers for business. Combined with ambitious plans for the crypto reserve and Alatau's status, this shapes the image of a jurisdiction ready for the new economic reality. The question is only one of execution speed, from pilot to mass implementation.
