According to Kazinform, President Tokayev made this proposal on August 11 during a meeting with government members and heads of central state institutions.

The president said, “I believe that supporting China’s initiative to establish such an organization and participating in its preparatory work is in our country’s best interest.”
The Chinese government has proposed establishing a global AI cooperation organization, initially planning to base its headquarters in Shanghai. Its objectives include deepening cooperation among countries in innovation, promoting pragmatic collaboration to fully realize AI’s limitless potential, and serving as a platform for shared development and prosperity.
