Raise Awareness is the Foundation’s public communication programme. The work translates research outputs and policy contributions into accessible material — long-form posts, accessible explainers, media engagement, and the public Russian-language vocabulary that the responsible-technology conversation in Central Asia requires.
The global responsible AI conversation — its key documents, reference frameworks, and research literature — is almost entirely in English. Practitioners working in Russian operate at a structural disadvantage in accessing this material. Producing materials in Russian is not a translation exercise. It is the access layer through which Central Asian civil society participates in international frameworks on equal terms.
Long-Form Posts
The Foundation maintains a regularly-updated record of substantive posts on AI governance, digital infrastructure, climate technology, and the institutional history of digital policy in Central Asia. Anchor posts include:
- Teaching Responsible AI in Russian — Notes from the ICNL Training, July 2024
- Kyrgyzstan in the GIRAI 2023 Assessment + four sister country profiles (KZ, TJ, UZ, TKM)
- Where Rights Show Up — GIRAI 2023 Human Rights and AI Dimension Across Central Asia
- National AI Capacities Across Central Asia — with strategic instrument timeline and capacity matrix
- Kyrgyzstan ICT Talent Pipeline (2018) — three-piece research set
Russian-Language Reference Material
The Foundation has produced and maintains a body of Russian-language material that accompanies its training and policy work:
- Вопросник по Ответственный ИИ (Responsible AI Questionnaire) — the assessment instrument used in the July 2024 ICNL training. Designed for civil society practitioners to map domestic AI governance gaps against international frameworks.
- Stimulating FinTech in Kyrgyzstan — bilingual two-part documentary/policy series produced from the 2018 FinTech Series.
- Eight bilingual FinTech series outputs across 2018–2019, including the Cashless Payments and QR Payments Case Battle records.
Media Engagement
The Foundation engages with Kyrgyz and regional media on substantive technology-policy topics rather than promotional coverage. Documented engagements include the CNBC feature «Belt and Road: Tech entrepreneurship in Kyrgyzstan» (January 2018), the GoKG interviews on tourism technology (November–December 2016), and ongoing partnership with Tazabek as the Kyrgyz business and economics media platform of record on ICT and ecommerce sector reporting.
International Visibility
Where the Foundation’s work has reached an international audience, it has done so through specific named publications and citations rather than general communications:
- Inclusion of the Foundation’s tourism-policy model in the Startup Nations Atlas of Policies by the Global Entrepreneurship Network.
- Citation of KG Labs as a UNECE Good Practice and Initiative Supporting Innovation for Sustainable Development (Kyrgyzstan SPECA background paper, August 2018).
- Stimson Center 2026 article «Charting Central Asia’s Technological Renaissance and Future Potential» — featuring KG Labs’ perspective on the region’s responsible-AI trajectory.
Raise Awareness sits alongside the Foundation’s other operational programme areas: Build Skills, Promote Smart Policies, Research, and Unite Community.
