Presight has signed a term sheet with Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Transport to explore the development of a national operational intelligence platform that leverages sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the monitoring, management, and performance of the country’s transport network.
The proposed platform is expected to support smarter transport operations and advance Kazakhstan’s digital transformation ambitions in the mobility sector.
According to the statement, the proposed platform would enable real-time operational visibility, predictive insights, and intelligence-led decision-making to help transport authorities improve road safety, protect critical infrastructure, optimize operations, and strengthen the resilience of the country’s transport system.
Under the Term Sheet, the parties intend to assess the development of a unified operational intelligence platform integrating existing transport monitoring systems, weigh-in-motion infrastructure, video analytics capabilities, and other digital solutions into a single operational environment.
The deployment of AI-powered capabilities is expected to improve road safety, strengthen regulatory oversight, increase the detection of transport-related violations, protect road infrastructure, and enable more efficient, intelligence-led transport operations nationwide.
Nurlan Sauranbayev, Minister of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, said that, “A modern transport system cannot function effectively without the broad adoption of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. Initiatives of this nature will help enhance road safety, ensure greater transparency across transport operations, and elevate the management of Kazakhstan’s transport sector to a fundamentally new level.”

“Kazakhstan has demonstrated a clear ambition to build AI-enabled national infrastructure. Building on our experience supporting the country’s digital transformation, we look forward to exploring how applied AI can help create a safer, more efficient, and more resilient transport network through real-time operational intelligence and data-driven decision-making.”
Kazakhstan is a strategic growth market for Presight and an important example of the company’s commitment to enabling national-scale intelligence systems through applied AI.
Working alongside government and institutional partners, Presight has delivered several landmark initiatives across the country, including the Astana Smart City project, Kazakhstan’s first national AI supercomputer — ranked 86th globally in the TOP500 supercomputers — and the establishment of a dedicated AI research and development laboratory at Alem.AI, as per the statement.
