The book, translated into Russian and Kazakh with support from Astana Hub, garnered significant interest from attendees, and Sadirac signed around 1,000 copies following the presentation.

In a panel session, Sadirac stressed the necessity of revising traditional teaching models, especially in light of the rapid advancement of AI.

"We are living in an era where technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and AI is progressing faster than ever before," said Sadirac. He pointed out that the current education system is failing to keep up with the new demands of the market, resulting in a shortage of specialists in IT and AI. "I have been training IT professionals for the past 25 years. In the past, we conducted industrial research to identify company needs and then trained engineers accordingly. This process usually took three to five years. Now, it is nearly impossible because today's demands become obsolete in just two years. We must completely rethink our approach to education," he stated.

Sadirac also shared his experience of training over 200,000 IT talents worldwide, highlighting that many of the most promising individuals come from outside traditional educational systems.

"The skills needed for success in IT and AI have little to do with the skills typically required for academic success. For instance, we have a school that admitted students who once sold water on the streets—now some of them work in Google’s cybersecurity department. These individuals, overlooked by conventional education systems, have incredible potential. One of our most important tasks is to bring such people back into the educational process, as they are crucial for the future," Sadirac explained.

The Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Digital Inclusion and Transformation, which took place in Kazakhstan’s capital from September 3 to 5, 2024, gathered more than 400 delegates from 30 countries. Organized by UNESCAP and MDDIAI, the event served as a key platform for discussing digitalization and sustainable development.
