“World’s First”: Exclusive Look Inside the Future AI Center in Astana

Together with Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of the international tech park Astana Hub, Digital Business got an exclusive tour inside the iconic spherical building Nur Alem in Astana — the future home of the alem.ai International Artificial Intelligence Center. Construction is currently underway, with the opening planned for later this year.


We explored each floor of the building and learned what will be located on every level. We also discussed how this ambitious project is expected to benefit Kazakhstan’s economy and its people, what makes alem.ai unique for the region and the world, and what funding sources will support the center’s operations.

Alongside Magzhan Madiyev and ChatGPT, we conducted a SWOT analysis of the alem.ai project — identifying both opportunities and risks. Key risks discussed included the shortage of qualified specialists, brain drain among young talent, limited computing power, competition with global players, and the lack of AI-related scientific publications from Kazakhstan in international journals. We also reviewed a development roadmap for alem.ai, outlining how the team plans to mitigate these risks while building a globally competitive AI ecosystem.
