Women in Tech®Kazakhstan’s Post

Thank you and congratulations to United Nations ESCAP and the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan for organizing a powerful Summit "AI for ALL: Building Generative Nations Together" in Astana. I had the honor of sharing my perspectives on Gender, Innovation, and AI alongside renowned experts. The plenary session, masterfully moderated by Andrew Beklemishev, Head of Public Council at the Ministry of Digital Development and VP at IDC, was particularly enlightening. H.E. Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Executive Secretary of UNESCAP, set the tone with her insightful welcome address, followed by Kanysh Tuleushin, First Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan. Engaging discussions with Steve Nouri (AI4Diversity), Nicolas Sadirac (01Edu), and other distinguished panelists highlighted the immense potential of AI in fostering inclusive digital transformation across Asia-Pacific economies. Key takeaways: 🔘 Urgent need to address AI talent shortages through innovative education models 🔘 Importance of ensuring gender equality and diversity in AI-enabled societies 🔘 Crucial role of collaboration between governments, NGOs, and the private sector I also delivered a keynote on Empowering Voices and Gender bias in AI. Thank you to all participants for the enriching exchanges. Looking forward to seeing these insights translated into action! Assem Bolatzhan WOMEN IN TECH ® Global Women in Tech®Kazakhstan
