Risk-Based Classification and Management #
Kazakhstan's AI law is the first in Central Asia, establishing a three-tier risk framework (minimum/medium/high) that directly mirrors the EU AI Act's approach. High-risk AI systems must use the state National AI Platform for development and testing — a unique state-platform requirement not seen in Western AI laws.
