Kazakhstan's Law No. 230-VIII On Artificial Intelligence, in force since 2026-01-18, requires that users be informed that goods, works and services are produced or provided using AI systems (Art. 21(1)). The article names no duty bearer; the Law's duties toward users fall on the owners and holders of AI systems (Arts. 15, 21(3)). A user is anyone using an AI system for a specific function or task (Art. 1(7)). Detect an AI-backed service that returns model output to a person, or an AI chat surface, with no notice that AI is used.

Kazakhstan's AI Law gives users the right to obtain from the owner or holder of an AI system explanations of its results that affect their rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, in the manner set by the user agreement and the law (Art. 16(1)(4)), and to request information on the data on which the AI system based a decision, to the extent the user agreement provides and subject to personal-data, confidentiality and trade-secret law (Art. 16(1)(5)). A user subject to AI decisions has the right to be informed of the automated processing and its consequences and of the possibility to object (Art. 7(2)). Detect a model output that becomes a decision about a person with no stored reasons or explanation route.

Kazakhstan's AI Law prohibits creating and operating, on its territory, AI systems capable of classifying natural persons on the basis of their biometric data to draw conclusions about their race, political views, religious affiliation or any other circumstances (criteria) for use in any discrimination against a person (Art. 17(3)(5)). Detect code that infers race, ethnicity, religion, political views or sexual orientation from face or voice data.

Kazakhstan's AI Law prohibits creating and operating, on the territory of Kazakhstan, AI systems with the capability of determining a natural person's emotions without that person's consent, except where the laws of Kazakhstan provide otherwise (Art. 17(3)(6)). Owners and holders who identify such a risk must act at once, up to suspending the system (Art. 18(2), read). Detect emotion-recognition calls in a file with no consent check.

Kazakhstan's AI Law gives users the right to refuse interaction with an AI system where the laws of Kazakhstan do not make such interaction mandatory (Art. 16(1)(6)). In code, an AI-only channel with no way to decline the AI and reach a person or a non-AI path leaves the right without effect. Detect an AI conversation or assistant surface that calls a model and offers no human hand-off or AI opt-out.

Under Kazakhstan's AI Law, synthetic results of AI systems (images, video, audio, texts or combinations created or modified by an AI system that imitate a natural person's appearance, voice or behaviour, or events that did not happen, Art. 1(4)) may be distributed only if they are marked in machine-readable form and accompanied by a visual or other warning the user can perceive without methods that make perception harder (Art. 21(2)). The owners or holders of the AI systems are responsible for informing users about synthetic results (Art. 21(3)). Detect generated or face- or voice-synthesised media saved, served or published with no visible warning or no machine-readable mark.

Kazakhstan's AI Law allows the use of works to train AI models only where the author or rights holder has not prohibited it in machine-readable form (Art. 23(5)). A training-data pipeline that crawls or ingests works must therefore read and honour machine-readable reservations (robots.txt rules, TDM reservation protocols, noai metadata) before a work enters a training set. Detect a crawler or page fetch that feeds a training or dataset-building step with no machine-readable opt-out check.
