More Than 43,000 AI Cameras in Kazakhstan Now Monitor Public Behavior

More than 43,000 cameras in Kazakhstan have already been equipped with artificial intelligence functions that can detect fights, crowds, abandoned objects, littering and other public disturbances, Deputy Prime Minister Aida Balayeva said in response to a parliamentary inquiry about public behavior and speech culture, Orda.kz reports.

Earlier, deputies proposed that the state address what they described as “speech ecology” and growing rudeness in society. Among their ideas were teaching Sergek cameras to recognize aggressive behavior, introducing a public culture index for the regions, adding speech culture modules to schools, and launching an initiative under the slogan Taza Niet — Taza Soz.

The government said the Interior Ministry, together with the National Security Committee and other state bodies, is already implementing the National Video Monitoring System.

As part of the project, more than 43,000 cameras across the country are equipped with AI functions. Thirty-five types of analytics are used, including those that analyze human behavior. The model can recognize fights, crowds, abandoned objects, littering and other violations of public order.the response said.

The idea of a public culture index is still being studied. The government said this would require a separate methodology developed together with researchers and state agencies. At present, the Kazakhstan Institute of Social Development is working on a national well-being index.

In schools, according to the response, the Adal Azamat education program is already in place. It includes the values of law and order, justice, responsibility, hard work, patriotism, and Abay’s concept of the “complete person.”

The Culture Ministry is also considering campaigns and public challenges under the slogan Taza Niet — Taza Soz.
