Kazakhstan’s sovereign wealth fund Samruk-Kazyna has unveiled an AI-generated independent board director, potentially the first of its kind in Central Asia. The system, called SKAI (Samruk-Kazyna Artificial Intelligence), will be able to vote on decisions concerning the fund’s activities, like strategic, financial and governance. Trained on internal documents dating back to 2008, the machine director is designed to support more accurate and balanced decision-making.
SKAI runs in a closed circuit on Kazakhtelecom’s Al Farabium supercomputer, the second most powerful in the country. It relies on the Kazakh-language model Alem LLM, and allows data to be processed locally without leaving Kazakhstan.
