KazNU scientists presented the GeoAI development model
Representatives of al-Farabi Kazakh National University took part in the Esri Central Asia GeoAI Summit 2026, held in Astana and dedicated to the implementation of artificial intelligence in geographic information systems and spatial data.
During the summit, the university delegation presented reports on an integrated approach to the development of GeoAI based on KazNU, including the integration of computing infrastructure, software platforms, scientific expertise and data.
In particular, Amirkhan Temirbayev, director of the Farabi Supercomputer Center, presented the capabilities of the supercomputer center, which provides high-performance computing for artificial intelligence and modeling tasks, as well as approaches to creating a national GeoAI infrastructure.
Omirzhan Taukebayev, General Director of the Cluster of Engineering and High-Tech Technologies, made a presentation on the formation of the GeoAI ecosystem, which includes key elements: computing resources, geospatial and satellite data, as well as the training of specialized personnel. During the presentation, the architecture of the deployed GeoAI infrastructure was demonstrated, combining the resources of the Farabi Supercomputer Center, ESRI technologies based on ArcGIS, and the research potential of the Farabi GIS Center for Geospatial Sciences. This approach allows solving a wide range of applied tasks, from monitoring natural processes and forecasting climate change to developing intelligent decision support systems in public administration.
According to the program of the event, the summit brought together leading experts from the international company Esri, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, government agencies and the scientific community of the country. During the discussions, modern approaches to the implementation of GeoAI were considered, including the automation of mapping, the processing of remote sensing data, the use of AI in urban planning and the development of intelligent geographic information platforms.
