“I hope one day I am replaced by AI.” Zhaslan Madiyev has been in his job for less than a year, but if he does it well, his wish may soon come true. As the Minister of Artificial Intelligence in Kazakhstan, he is responsible for integrating AI into every level of society, from schools, to farms, to public services – which could one day include his role.
“I hope that one day it happens,” he says at a meeting at his Astana office. “AI is more efficient, and when they interact with each other, there is no politics when they communicate with each other.”
