While no special regulation on AI yet exists in Kazakhstan, there are two main directions of legal work for developing rules to govern its functioning. The issues of liability for harm caused by AI, and issues of intellectual property (namely, who should be considered the author of an AI created work).
« There is no specific legislation governing AI or addressing the ethical
and legal issues arising from the use of AI (such as liability, privacy,
discrimination and data bias). However, recent sector-specific
regulations, such as the Federal Data Protection Law, the DIFC
Data Protection Law and the Health Data law, all deal with privacy
implications of decisions made through machine learning tools.Dubai
has implemented non-binding guidelines to provide some regulation
and guidance on the development and ethical use of AI. There are a
number of AI related initiatives on going in the UAE at the government
level, including the appointment of a Minister of State for Artificial
Intelligence, Digital Economy & Remote Work Applications Office
(Artificial Intelligence Office, UAE | United Arab Emirates (ai.gov.ae)). » Despite the government’s repeated lip service towards the imperative
of supporting Artificial Intelligence, it has yet to take any meaningful
action. There is a lack of an official national AI strategy.
