The Samruk-Kazyna Fund presented to the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev the SKAI Neural Network (Samruk-Kazyna Artificial Intelligence), a digital independent member of the Board of Directors.

SKAI was developed on the basis of AI, it became the region’s first digital independent member of the Board of Directors with voting rights. The presentation took place in Astana within the framework of the Digital Bridge International Forum.

SKAI will become a new tool for increasing transparency and quality of corporate governance. The neural network analyzes internal and external regulatory documents, decisions of the Board of Directors since 2008, and other materials accumulated since the Fund was founded. This will allow the Board to make more informed and reasoned decisions.

Special attention is paid to security: SKAI operates in a closed loop on the second AlFarabium supercomputer in Kazakhstan* of the Fund’s portfolio company, Kazakhtelecom.

Thus, information does not leave the country, and high computing power ensures reliability and speed of analysis. The Kazakh language model Alem LLM is used as the basis of the system.

“Setting of an AI-based neural network in the Board of Directors is a quantum leap: technology and people are starting to make decisions together, and digitalization goes beyond processes and becomes part of the management philosophy”, — Nurlan Zhakupov, Chairman of the Management Board of Samruk-Kazyna JSC, said.

It is planned to apply SKAI at the next meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fund.

The introduction of SKAI is a part of the Fund’s long-term strategy for digitalization and management transformation.

*The first supercomputer, the most powerful in Central Asia, is developed on the basis of the NVIDIA H200 graphics processors.
