From Generative to Cognitive

Kazakhstan in the era
of cognitive technologies

The world is entering a new phase of artificial intelligence development, from generative systems that create content to cognitive technologies capable of understanding, reasoning, and making decisions.
This transformation marks the transition from "creating data" to "understanding meaning" — from machines imitating humans to systems that become intellectual partners in economics, science, education, and public administration.
Digital Bridge 2026 will be a platform where the world will discuss how artificial intelligence is turning into a tool for thinking, analysis and forecasting.
Kazakhstan, which has set the vector of the Generative Nation, is now taking the next step — forming a new stage where a man and technology unite for joint creation.

The History of
Digital Bridge

AI Digital Bridge is the main technology forum in Eurasia.

Digital Bridge began its history in 2018, and in 2025, on behalf of President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was renamed AI Digital Bridge to promote and develop the field of artificial intelligence.

The Forum brings together technology companies, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and government officials, creating a space for ideas, partnerships, and solutions that define the digital future.

Innovative startups are being launched on the AI Digital Bridge platform, international agreements are being concluded, strategic decisions are being made and new directions of development are being formed — from artificial intelligence and the digital economy to creative industries and education of the future.
