The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on The Economy and Its Future Prospects: A Case Study Of Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Uzbekistan's economy, emphasizing its current applications, associated challenges, and prospects. Employing a qualitative analysis methodology, the study uses secondary data interviews with key stakeholders, including policymakers, business leaders, and academics, to elucidate the transformative potential of AI technologies within the Uzbek context. The findings indicate that AI offers substantial opportunities for economic growth and operational efficiency. However, to fully realize these benefits, it is imperative to address critical challenges, including inadequate technological infrastructure, workforce readiness, and the establishment of robust regulatory frameworks. Additionally, this study highlights the importance of fostering collaboration among government entities, the private sector, and educational institutions to facilitate the integration of AI across economic sectors. This holistic approach is essential for ensuring that Uzbekistan can effectively navigate the complexities of AI adoption and leverage its capabilities for sustainable economic development.
