Uzbekistan will adopt ethical standards in the field of artificial intelligence in 2025.

At the International Digital Forum Digital Almaty 2025 in Almaty, Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Abdulla Aripov announced the country's plans to introduce ethical standards in the field of artificial intelligence in 2025.

In 2024, the Republic adopted the AI Development Strategy until 2030, which sets ambitious goals: to increase the volume of software development and AI-based services to $1.5 billion, create 10 research laboratories for AI studies, establish high-performance server infrastructure, and enter the top 50 countries in the Government AI Readiness Index.

To achieve these goals, special attention is being paid to personnel training, including under an agreement with the UAE to launch a program to train 1 million AI developers. The second key direction is the accelerated integration of AI into the economy, where more than 20 projects have already been implemented, including palm-based payment via PalmPay, digital identification through MyID and FaceID, and the launch of the legal platform LexAI.
