Nowadays, Kazakhstan is working on the digital transformation of education more and more actively, and, of course, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) leads the main role in this process. The important steps have become such programs as 'Concept of Artificial Intelligence Development for 2024–2029' and the national standards on AI use in educational institutions. But there is a difference between the official documents and the reality that it is possible to see in schools. Especially, it concerns the English teaching. This article examines how AI is introduced into the schools of Kazakhstan, what real projects and initiatives exist. Also, it demonstrates the role of English language teachers in digitalization. The aim of my research is not only to list the technologies, but to show how they are used in reality. Besides it, the article lists potential problems and obstacles that hinder the wide implementation of AI in Kazakhstan's schools. The analysis was made based on open reports from the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a report by Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Education, publications from the Kazakhstan Association of Teachers of English, and materials from international organizations such as UNESCO, the OECD, and the U.S. Department of Education as well.
