How will artificial intelligence affect our lives in the future, and what is already being done at Nazarbayev University in this field? Professor Atakan Varol, Chair of the Robotics Engineering Department at the School of Engineering and Digital Science and Founding Director of the Institute of Smart Systems and Artificial Intelligence, talks about this in an interview with TV channel Khabar 24. He also shared his views on modern Kazakhstanis. It should be noted that the professor has lived in Kazakhstan for 12 years and is actively involved in the education of a new generation of Kazakhstani engineers. He is the author of over 100 articles and the inventor of 11 robotics and artificial intelligence patents. His research interests are AI, soft robotics, bionics, sensor fusion, and embodied intelligence.

An Open House Day of Nazarbayev University was held in Almaty. Representatives from all six departments  of the School of Engineering and Digital Sciences participated in the event.  Interview with Professor Atakan Varol, Departament Chair of Robotics Engineering at SEDS.

Zhanat Makhataeva, PhD candidate in Robotics Engineering at NU SEDS has developed an app for digital headsets called ExoMem, an AR-based human memory augmentation system. Zhanat talks about the app and Microsoft HoloLens.

Zhanat also talks about how developing the app came about, how improving technology has helped, battery life, memory, trying to live a normal life, plans for the project, AI, and her internship with Microsoft in London.

How not to get caught in the trap of Internet fraudsters? How to protect yourself from cyberattacks, the number of which grows every year? Cybersecurity, the fastest growing industry in the world, helps to stay one step ahead of potential danger. Specialists in cybersecurity are highly demanded on the labor market and have high incomes. Aidar Toktargazin, a student at NU SEDS, deals with personal data protection. He told journalists about ways to protect themselves from fraudsters on the Internet. Details in the program "Gamers.IT" on the Elarna TV channel.

Kazakhstan, a party to the Paris Agreement, has pledged to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 15 percent by 2030. However, the rate of pollution is increasing every year, and the level of carbon dioxide emissions already indicated in the document does not correspond to the real figures in the world.
NU scientists are working on several projects to reduce carbon emissions, led by Woojin Lee, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at NU SEDS and head of the Green Energy and Environment Ecology Laboratory at Astana National Laboratory. One is carbon dioxide sequestration and the other is the development of catalysts for carbon dioxide processing. Nurlan Seisenbayev, a second-year master's student at NU SEDS, is involved in one of them. About their research scientists told in an interview with the program "Lab. kz" on the Elarna TV channel.
