Astana: Presight, a global leader in applied AI for intelligent systems, and the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan have signed a Term Sheet to explore the development of a national operational intelligence platform for transport. The initiative aims to apply sovereign AI to enhance the monitoring, management, and performance of Kazakhstan's transport network. According to Emirates News Agency, the proposed platform would provide real-time operational visibility, predictive insights, and intelligence-led decision-making to assist transport authorities in improving road safety, protecting critical infrastructure, optimizing operations, and strengthening the resilience of the country's transport system. The Term Sheet outlines plans to assess the development of a unified operational intelligence platform that integrates existing transport monitoring systems, weigh-in-motion infrastructure, video analytics capabilities, and other digital solutions into a single operational environment. The dep loyment of AI-powered capabilities is anticipated 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, emphasized the importance of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in enhancing road safety and transparency in transport operations. Thomas Pramotedham, Chief Executive Officer of Presight, highlighted Kazakhstan's ambition to build AI-enabled national infrastructure. He expressed optimism about exploring how applied AI can contribute to creating a safer, more efficient, and resilient transport network through real-time operational intelligence and data-driven decision-making. Kazakhstan is identified as a strategic growth market for Presight, demonstrating the company's commitment to enabling national-scale intelligence systems through applied AI. Presight ha s previously partnered with government and institutional entities in Kazakhstan on several landmark initiatives, including the Astana Smart City project and the establishment of a dedicated AI research and development laboratory at Alem.AI. More recently, Presight was selected to support the advancement of smart city infrastructure in Almaty, further expanding its role in Kazakhstan's digital future. These initiatives are strengthening Kazakhstan's sovereign AI capabilities, accelerating the adoption of intelligence systems across critical sectors, and establishing trusted foundations for long-term national growth. The collaboration with the Kazakhstan Ministry of Transport reflects a shared ambition to embed intelligence into one of Kazakhstan's most critical national systems, helping transport authorities transition from fragmented data to coordinated action and from insight to measurable outcomes.
