THE CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTS FOR DETERMINING THE PERSONALITY OF A PERSON THROUGH INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

This article explores the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for personal identification in Kazakhstan, as well as the legal regulation and protection of biometric data. The article examines modern identification technologies, including facial recognition and fingerprint systems, which are actively used within the framework of the "Digital Kazakhstan" program. Special attention is paid to the analysis of Kazakhstan's legal framework in the field of personal data protection and cybersecurity, as well as the need to improve existing legislation.

The methodological basis of the study includes an analysis of legal acts, statistical data on crime reduction in major cities, and a comparative analysis of international practices in the use of ICT. The article presents the results of the use of biometric systems in Nur-Sultan and Almaty, where a 20-25% reduction in crime rates was observed due to the implementation of facial recognition technologies. The main issues identified during the study include insufficient legal protection of biometric information and its vulnerability to cyberattacks.

The theoretical significance of the study lies in the development of scientific understanding of the role of ICT in the process of personal identification, as well as the analysis of legal and ethical aspects of the use of biometric data. The practical significance of the work lies in providing recommendations for improving Kazakhstan's legislation aimed at strengthening personal data protection and developing digital infrastructure. The article also highlights directions for further research, including the study of new biometric identification methods and the development of cybersecurity mechanisms.
