A billionaire who got rich with artificial intelligence gave up Russian citizenship and got a Kazakhstani passport. The co-founder of the AI company Higgsfield, Alexander Mesharov, got Kazakhstani citizenship. The corresponding decree was signed by the country's president Kassem-Jomart Tokayev on October 30, said the country's digital development minister Jaslan Medive. "There is one more billionaire in Kazakhstan! " - he wrote and posted a photo of the passport on display. According to Medive, the Republican authorities are interested in attracting entrepreneurs in the field of artificial intelligence. Mesharov lives in San Francisco and comes to Kazakhstan several times a year. After receiving a Kazakh passport, a Higsfield spokeswoman told Bloomberg that the entrepreneur applied to renounce his Russian citizenship. Kazakhstan does not allow dual citizenship. More details.
