This study examines the issues and prospects of integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the administrative procedure process in Uzbekistan. As Uzbekistan accelerates its digital transformation agenda, AI applications in public administration offer significant potential to improve service delivery, reduce bureaucratic inefficiency, and enhance transparency. However, the adoption of AI in administrative procedures presents legal, ethical, and technical challenges that current regulatory frameworks are ill-equipped to address. Using a qualitative doctrinal research approach, this study analyzes existing legislation, international standards, and comparative regulatory models. The findings reveal significant gaps in Uzbekistan's administrative law regarding AI accountability, algorithmic decision-making, and procedural fairness. The study concludes that Uzbekistan requires a comprehensive AI governance framework that balances technological innovation with the protection of citizens' procedural rights and recommends harmonization with international standards and the development of AI-specific administrative procedure legislation.
