Analysis of the regulatory legal framework of legislative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan: problems, contradictions and ways of improvement

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current regulatory framework for legislative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The authors examine the main legislative acts regulating the rule-making process, identify internal contradictions, gaps and institutional barriers. Special attention was paid to assessing the degree of compliance of the legislative system with the principles of effective public administration. In addition, the current state of digitalization of rulemaking, the main challenges – legal, ethical and technical, as well as the prospects for using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the analysis, development, public discussion and monitoring of legislation will be considered. Based on the results of the study, specific proposals were proposed to eliminate the identified problems and improve the quality of the legislative process, in particular, to integrate AI, taking into account the principles of digital technology, open governance and human rights protection, including artificial intelligence (AI) in the transformation of the legislative process in Kazakhstan. The recommendations presented are aimed at improving the country’s legal system, increasing its adaptation to changes in the internal and external environment, as well as strengthening citizens’ trust in public authorities.
