Abstract. The government's distrust of the national expert community; the lack of its own nationally oriented expertise of global projects that determine the development of the state for decades to come; blind and unconditional trust in Western ratings; unwillingness to engage in laborious analytical procedures and expert research as opposed to accessible «foreign» analytics - these and a number of other cognitive, political and economic obstacles may have as a result, the State's loss of sovereignty in the humanitarian sphere. Adopted in 2024. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Concept of Artificial Intelligence development for 2024-2029, based on the rating of the British company Oxford Insights «Government Readiness Index for Artificial Intelligence 2023», has become a concrete example of the use of a dubious data source in government planning. The article analyzes in detail the activities and competencies of Oxford Insights in the context of its declared policy of digital interventionism.
