Uzbekistan is making significant strides in adopting and integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into its economy and society. The country’s first-ever decree on AI focuses on creating favorable conditions for the accelerated implementation of AI technologies. This decree includes provisions for Developing a robust domestic AI ecosystem and implementing regulatory measures necessary for its development.
To further support AI advancement, Uzbekistan has established the Research Institute for the Development of Digital Technologies and AI in Tashkent. This institute plays a crucial role in conducting scientific research to promote the use of AI technologies in various sectors, including the economy, social services, and governance. The institute conducts both fundamental and applied research, aiming to create innovative AI products and solutions.
Additionally, Uzbekistan is fostering international collaboration in AI research and development. The country’s joint laboratory with the National University of Uzbekistan, named after Mirzo Ulugbek, is a testament to this effort. This joint laboratory aims to enhance AI research and development by collaborating with leading international institutions.
