It is reported that the Kazakh government has no immediate plans to appoint AI-based virtual or digital deputy ministers. Rostislav Konyashkin, First Deputy Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development, stated that while AI tools may serve as advisors and consultants, current AI systems lack the reliability required for official decision-making roles. The question arose during a press conference following a cabinet meeting, when journalists referenced Albania’s 2025 decision to appoint a virtual minister for public procurement, the first of its kind globally. They asked whether Kazakhstan was considering a similar initiative. Minister Konyashkin emphasized that political officials are responsible for their decisions, and the emergence of digital deputy ministers is not expected at this time. Konyashkin expressed hope that future developments could lead to personal AI assistants acting as full-fledged consultants, potentially easing civil servants’ workloads. Plans are underway to establish a secure digital environment for remote work by civil servants, including unified authorization systems with optional biometric identification and integrated digital tools to enhance administrative efficiency.
