Uzbekistan will implement AI in more than 60 priority projects by the end of 2026

In Uzbekistan, artificial intelligence technologies are planned to be implemented by the end of 2026 as part of more than 60 priority projects. These will cover healthcare, transport, public services, ecology, industry, and the judicial system.

Priorities and projects for implementing artificial intelligence technologies in various sectors of the economy and public administration in Uzbekistan for 2025–2026 have been identified. This is stipulated by the Cabinet of Ministers' decree of July 10.

Healthcare

In the healthcare system, AI will be used to improve the quality of medical care. In the Almazar and Yunusabad districts, a pilot project is planned to introduce a digital medical assistant based on artificial intelligence and an auxiliary voice software module integrated into the Unified Medical Information System DMED. It is expected to use speech recognition technologies for automatic documentation of medical examinations.

AI technology is also planned to be implemented for early detection of breast cancer based on mammographic studies. The pilot launch will take place at the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Oncological Medical Center, as well as in one private clinic.

To identify potential risks of oncology in the chest, a software product for analyzing computed tomography and X-ray images is planned to be launched. The pilot project will be implemented at the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Phthisiology and Pulmonology.

Additionally, the development of an AI system for analyzing and forecasting market demand for medicines and the creation of an AI-based digital medical assistant to support clinical decisions are planned.

Judicial Sphere

According to the decree, a module for providing legal assistance to citizens will be developed. It will also enable the calculation of court costs.

The development of a platform for analyzing regulatory documents for citizens, lawyers, attorneys, and judges, as well as a system for transcribing hearings in Uzbek with speaker separation, is provided for.

Aerospace Monitoring

For analyzing crop yields and assessing the condition of pasture vegetation, artificial intelligence will be applied in aerospace monitoring on selected experimental territories.

Monitoring the condition of power lines and determining the best locations for installing solar panels is also planned.

AI will be used to detect unauthorized occupation and construction on land, as well as installed solar panels, and to determine the most effective locations for their installation.

Transport, Logistics, and Public Safety

Upon entering railway stations in Tashkent, a pilot implementation of the UzFace system for citizen identification by face is planned. Additionally, based on AI, monitoring of the condition of railway tracks and asphalt road surfaces will be conducted.

Based on international experience, the implementation of an emergency situation alert system is outlined.

Also provided:

— development of an AI model to improve the accuracy of satellite images
— identification of minor offenses using computer vision
— automatic detection of traffic violations involving scooters using AI
— development of an AI module for calculating court costs and providing legal assistance to citizens
— creation of an AI system for automatic preparation of draft court decisions
— a platform for analyzing regulatory documents for citizens, lawyers, attorneys, and judges
— improvement of the UzFace system to detect violations related to littering
— development of a system for recognizing people by clothing, hair color, and objects in hand using computer vision.

Ecology, Industry, Services, and Others

The UzFace system is also planned to be used to detect cases of household waste dumping via cameras. Additionally, an information system for detecting minor offenses, such as smoking in public places and jaywalking, with offender identification, is planned. Cases of riding electric scooters in violation of safety rules will also be recorded automatically.

Among other projects:

— development of a software product to detect violations in public procurement using AI
— automatic verification of suppliers' bank accounts during public spending
— detection of changes at mineral deposits using radar satellite data and AI
— a system for automatic transcription of hearings with identification of speakers in Uzbek
— formation of a Uzbek language corpus and development of a national language model
— a mobile application with sign language translation functionality
— a robotic complex to assess infrastructure accessibility for people with disabilities
— an AI-based weather forecasting system using historical data
— implementation of a voice and text chatbot on the public services portal
— automatic verification and filling of data from uploaded documents on the public services portal
— automation of the public services call center using voice robots
— voice control when filling out forms on the public services portal
— advanced training courses on AI for government agency employees and IT specialists.

Additionally, a high-performance computing cluster including graphics processors and server equipment for big data bases will be purchased for Inha University in Tashkent. The Ministry of Digital Technologies has been tasked with ensuring the purchase by June 1, 2026.
