The Senate has returned the laws “On Artificial Intelligence” and “On Amendments and Supplements to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Artificial Intelligence and Digitalization” to the Majilis with proposed changes, Orda.kz reports.
Amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses were also reviewed in two readings and sent back to the Majilis along with senators’ proposals.
At the same time, senators supported most of the provisions originally approved by the Majilis. The AI law seeks to regulate public relations in the field of artificial intelligence and introduces several new legal concepts, including “artificial intelligence,” “data library,” and “synthetic results of the activities of artificial intelligence systems.”
The law’s provisions aim to create conditions for the use of AI across multiple sectors — economics, healthcare, education, and public administration. It prohibits the creation of systems that could violate human rights and freedoms, such as those enabling manipulation, discrimination, or the collection of biometric data without consent.
In the media sphere, when distributing content, authors must indicate if the materials have been created using AI.
Senators introduced 13 amendments to the legislation.
One of the amendments eliminates the use of voluntary liability insurance alone. It is now proposed, along with voluntary liability insurance, to also include mandatory liability insurance for damage caused by artificial intelligence systems and risks associated with their use, in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan,
Deputy Babagul Akkozhina clarified.
Additional amendments include:
- Works created with AI will be protected by copyright only if a human makes a creative contribution
- AI owners and operators will be required not only to minimize but also to prevent potential harm to the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of individuals
- Taking into account the senators’ amendments, the laws will now be reconsidered by the Majilis
At the same plenary session, deputies also discussed the dangers of deepfakes and proposed harsher penalties for their creation and use.
