Abstract

Artificial intelligence strategies refer to the plans and actions taken by governments to develop and apply AI technologies to achieve specific goals. This article explores Uzbekistan's policies and preferences regarding the development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The study examines the country's national strategies and regulatory frameworks for AI, as well as the challenges it faces in realizing its AI ambitions. The analysis reveals that Uzbekistan sees AI as a key enabler of economic growth, social development, and modernization, and aims to become a regional leader in AI by 2030. To achieve this goal, the government has launched several initiatives, such as establishing AI research centers, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, and investing in digital infrastructure. However, the article also identifies several obstacles, such as a lack of skilled workforce, limited funding, and ethical and legal concerns. The study concludes by providing recommendations for how Uzbekistan can address these challenges and strengthen its AI ecosystem.
