AI Will Determine Whether Kazakhstani Students Use AI

The Minister of Science and Higher Education Sayasat Nurbek explained how the country regulates the use of artificial intelligence in the academic environment, Orda.kz reports.
According to him, in 2025, changes were made to the regulatory documents regarding the writing of theses, term papers and other written works. There is no complete ban on the use of AI in them. On the contrary, the authorities believe that students and young scientists should be able to work with such tools.
We still believe that the new generation needs to learn to be friends with algorithms and use them. But we tried to create, based on international experience, a regulatory framework that would gradually teach students and young scientists: you can use algorithms, but you cannot use them mechanically. You need to create specific things together with them. Where the algorithm can help, for example, in processing a large dataset – please, but be sure to indicate and cite that the dataset was processed with the help of such an algorithm. the minister said at a government briefing.
However, it is forbidden to formulate conclusions using AI – they should be the result of the author's independent work. Control over compliance with these rules has largely been transferred to universities. Universities are allowed not to accept work produced with violations, and even to cancel theses.
At the same time, anti‑plagiarism systems are being refined – they are now being taught to recognize texts created by algorithms. In other words, AI will determine work written by AI.
We have a large 'I‑Sana' program – 673,000 students are now being trained. We asked the students to develop algorithms that will determine whether a text is written by an algorithm. Because in addition to anti‑plagiarism, we now need to equip our teachers with such new tools.Nurbek added.
The minister identified the digital divide between teachers and students as a separate problem. According to him, many teachers do not yet use AI, while students are already actively working with such tools.
To reduce this gap, Kazakhstan launched a joint project with OpenAI. Within its framework, about 40,000 university teachers, 20,000 employees of scientific institutes and management personnel will be trained to work with AI. Participants will also be provided with access to the educational version of ChatGPT.
