And I think AI is a technology that can actually deliver that kind of a benefit.”
“We see the impact of generative AI and you talk now about all these different segments and parameters which influence the segments. And then we have the AI come in and maybe show us like a different picture because it understands different connections that we've never seen before.”

“We need to make sure we use responsibly and in the right place. Yeah. We don't rush it. It’s definitely changing everything.”
“I think it's really unique because I can compare it with Ukraine, Poland, and different markets where I've worked before. What I can say is that Kazakhstan is the world's ninth-largest country by area, with a population of 20 million. The population is young and growing.”
