Law on Artificial Intelligence, copyright and training data

Law No. 230-VIII (17 November 2025), Art. 23

A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.

What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

In force 8 months, effective 17 January 2026.

An AI training data rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 6 September 2026.

What it requires

  • A work an AI system produces is protected by copyright only where a human made a creative contribution to it.
  • Do not train an AI model on a published work if the author or rightsholder has posted a prohibition against it in machine-readable form.
  • Training a model on a work is not covered by the educational or scientific free-use exception in Kazakhstan's copyright law, so it needs its own basis under this Article rather than that exception.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Article 23 sets copyright and training-use rules (human creative contribution, the opt-out condition expressed in machine-readable form) and states no duty to log, record or document a training run, a prompt, or a check for an author's or rightsholder's machine-readable prohibition.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Article 23(1)-(2) protects a work created using an AI system by copyright only where there is a human creative contribution to its creation, and recognises a text prompt sent to an AI system as a copyright object where it is itself the result of a person's intellectual creative activity.

Article 23(3) states that using a work to train an AI model does not fall within copyright law's free-use exceptions for educational or scientific purposes, and Article 23(4) states that training does not itself amount to exercising the author's reproduction, distribution, adaptation, public display, performance, broadcast or cable-communication rights.

Article 23(5) then permits using a work to train an AI model only where the author or rightsholder has not expressed a prohibition in machine-readable form, an opt-out condition on top of the two preceding paragraphs.
