Kazakhstan ranked 60th out of 195 countries in the Government AI Readiness Index 2025, published by the international think tank Oxford Insights, ahead of other Central Asian countries. The Ministry of AI and Digital Development of Kazakhstan announced this on Wednesday.
In the previous year’s ranking, the country ranked 76th.
The Government AI Readiness Index assesses governments’ ability to effectively utilize AI in public administration, the economy, and social processes, as well as to create conditions for the safe, responsible, and sustainable development of AI.
“The Oxford Insights report specifically notes Kazakhstan’s political potential and governance readiness. The presence of strategic documents, the development of a regulatory framework, and sustained institutional attention to AI enable the country to develop a long-term and systemic public policy in this area,” the ministry reported.
