Special attention in the development Strategy of Karaganda State Industrial University for 2017-2021 is paid to improving the quality of educational services provided and improving the University’s management system.

The University is doing a lot of work within the framework of the «Digital Kazakhstan» program. As part of the implementation of the Strategy to introduce elements of the Fourth industrial revolution and digitalization of the economy, KSIU in cooperation with the Cisco Network Academy has become the base platform for the introduction of the latest digital technologies and training of new personnel with digital skills in the Karaganda region since 2018, which was awarded the status of the Cisco Academy. The SOTHEBY’s center also operates in KSIU.

Today there is another good reason for joy: given the current development of society, the requirements for graduates of the modern labor market, the development and increasing spread of artificial intelligence technologies, the decision of the Supervisory Board of KSIU opens the Department of artificial intelligence technologies, which will train specialists in artificial intelligence technologies.

Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science that develops intelligent computer systems, that is, systems that have the capabilities that we traditionally associate with the human mind — language understanding, learning, reasoning, problem solving, and, most importantly, self-learning.

Training of specialists in the field of artificial intelligence is dictated by time and is relevant. In the foreseeable future, half of the current professions will be replaced by robots and artificial intelligence. Therefore, it is necessary to create conditions for developing the competitiveness of modern specialists. In a rapidly changing world, it is very important to keep up with the development of trends in education and career.

Without a doubt, the Department of artificial intelligence technologies is a breakthrough in the implementation of the digitalization program in our legendary city of Temirtau.
