EXPLORING NEW SCIENTIFIC HORIZONS: STUDENTS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

11 april, 2025

On April 11, 2025, a scientific and practical seminar titled “The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Research Activities” was held at the Faculty of Law of 51 Kazakh National University. The event was initiated and moderated by faculty members of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law – Doctor of Law, Prof. Zhanar Kegembayeva and Master of Law Ulan Abdykadyr.

The seminar was dedicated to the Day of Science Workers, which is celebrated annually in Kazakhstan on April 12. This date coincides with the birthday of Kanysh Satpayev, a prominent Kazakh scientist and the first president of the National Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan. The day has become a symbol of respect for the academic profession, commitment to science, and contribution to the nation’s future.

The seminar addressed not only the practical applications of artificial intelligence in scientific research but also broader issues such as the status of scientists in today’s society, the priorities of scientific policy, the motivation of young researchers, and the promotion of values such as academic integrity and intellectual creativity.

The moderators emphasized that in the context of accelerating digitalization, the role of science in public life is growing rapidly. The government is taking concrete steps to support young scholars, modernize research infrastructure, expand academic freedom, and develop the system of personnel training. All these measures contribute to increasing interest among youth in scientific endeavors.

First-year law students actively participated in the seminar. They were introduced to modern digital tools that assist in research work. Students learned how artificial intelligence can be used to search for information, analyze texts, generate hypotheses, and prepare research materials. For many participants, this seminar became the first step toward meaningful academic work, offering professional guidance and inspiring further development in the scientific field. Students shared their opinions, actively engaged in discussions, and had the opportunity to ask questions in an open and informal dialogue with the instructors.
