Astana rose 8 positions in the global GFCI ranking and retained its leadership in the region

Renat Bekturev, Managing Director of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC): The rise of Astana by eight positions in the rankings and its continued leadership in the region serve as a significant indicator of growing confidence from the international financial community in the AIFC and Kazakhstan. For us, our ranking position is not an end in itself, but rather an independent assessment of the consistent work we are undertaking: enhancing the legal and regulatory framework, developing capital markets and financial technologies, and expanding international partnerships. Our goal is to ensure that this progress is measured not only by Astana’s standing among global financial centers, but primarily by new investments, international companies, and opportunities for Kazakhstani businesses.

Kazakh Cerebra AI has signed a contract with an American medical group with revenues exceeding $20 billion

Doszhan Jusupov, CEO of Cerebra AI, believes that AI has entered the world, and this is not just hype, or rather, not only hype, as no one can deny that AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), is already significantly changing people's behavior worldwide. However, there is one promise, or rather, hope for LLMs in the context of DeepTech and life sciences — for example, the expectation that LLMs will immediately and on a large scale improve medicine. But LLMs have known drawbacks: hallucinations, unexplainable results, and so on. Until this technology reaches clinical levels of safety and stability, years will pass, and perhaps even a decade.
