• The research essay examines the opportunities and barriers to implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan based on a comparative analysis of the experience of Germany. The aim of the work is to identify key factors influencing the successful integration of AI tools into educational practice, including regulatory, methodological, technological and personnel aspects. The paper analyzes international and national strategies for regulating AI, features of the legal framework of Kazakhstan and the European Union, as well as models of teacher training. Special attention is paid to the issues of academic integrity, ethics, personal data protection and overcoming the digital divide. Based on the German experience, we formulate systematic recommendations for Kazakhstan aimed at developing institutional teacher training, reforming the assessment system and forming national AI sovereignty in education. The forecast of AI development in the educational system of Kazakhstan until 2029 is made, emphasizing the need to move from fragmented technology implementation to a sustainable, ethically verified and inclusive model of digital education.
