It’s expected to drive the adoption of advanced AI applications across sectors like finance, mining, aviation, oil and gas, and construction.
We are building a next-generation platform that will serve as the backbone of Kazakhstan’s digital sovereignty. This partnership with NVIDIA will equip the public and private sectors with tools to create AI-driven solutions, develop local expertise, and foster national innovation,said Bagdat Musin, Chairman of the Board at Kazakhtelecom.
According to Ronnie Vasishta, SVP Telecom at NVIDIA, every country is aiming to shape its technological future and harness the potential of AI.
