artificial intelligence (AI) in Kazakhstan, as well as relevant changes to national legislation.

It examines the opinions of experts and members of parliament on the law's nature, ranging from its assessment as a framework law to its recognition as a system-forming act establishing a new branch of law. Particular attention is paid to the introduction of administrative liability for violations of AI legislation and amendments to related laws.
In conclusion, it is emphasized that, despite the lack of a unified international approach to regulating artificial intelligence, Kazakhstan is demonstrating a proactive stance by creating a national legal framework. The law aims to ensure the safety, transparency, and ethical implementation of AI, protect citizens' rights, and stimulate innovative development.
