Digital transformation of the Uzbek economy: results and prospects

The issue of improving the efficiency of production and management processes is becoming increasingly significant t in the context of the introduction of extensive digitalization opportunities and artificial intelligence (AI) elements into the country’s economy. The aim of this work is to study the state and prospects of the digital transformation of the economy of Uzbekistan. This goal predetermined the objectives of the study, which consist in collecting, systematizing and analyzing available sources of scientific and statistical information, formulating results and determining directions for further research on this problem. In this regard, the subject of the study is the digital transformation of the country’s economy. The author used such research methods as analysis, systematization and generalization of materials published on this topic; comparative analysis of statistical data; synthesis of identified points of view, research results and, based on them, formulation of promising areas for the introduction of AI into the country’s economy. Within the framework of the presented research, some provisions of regulatory documents, relevant scientific publications, analytical data, certain indicators of the level of implementation of AI, basic primary sources from statistical authorities were used. The main results of the study, as well as directions for further research on this topic, are presented. At present, the development of advanced software aimed at enhancing the efficiency of production process management is becoming increasingly relevant. Beyond addressing operational tasks, such systems are expected to facilitate collaboration among the structural divisions of enterprises and support the resolution of issues arising at the intersection of their areas of responsibility. Within the digital environment, users are able to exchange data, knowledge and problem-solving ideas. Industrial enterprises are demonstrating steadily growing interest in such solutions. The results indicate that AI is emerging as a key driver of transformation within modern economic systems. Its integration into production processes, the service sector and public administration carries considerable scientific and practical significance, creating opportunities to improve efficiency, optimize resource utilization and generate new markets. AI has undergone an evolution from narrowly specialized algorithms to sophisticated systems capable of self-learning and decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. Countries that succeed in combining market-based management tools with effective state regulation will secure a decisive advantage in the global competition of the 21st century.
