Uzbekistan Boosts Government AI

Uzbekistan is rapidly advancing its AI in government through a national program called Sun’iy Intellekt, part of its wider digital government vision under “Digital Uzbekistan 2030.” 

This bold AI strategy brings artificial intelligence into public services, education, and critical sectors, setting the foundation for smarter, data-driven governance across the country.

What Is Sun’iy Intellekt?

Approved in late 2024, the Sun’iy Intellekt program outlines Uzbekistan’s roadmap for AI development and public integration by 2030. It includes:

• Legal and ethical guidelines for responsible AI use

• National AI labs and pilot projects

• AI education and workforce training

• Integration of AI in healthcare, agriculture, and public services

This AI strategy is designed to elevate government efficiency, citizen experience, and technological competitiveness.

Why It Matters

Uzbekistan’s commitment to digital government requires more than digitized paperwork—it demands intelligent systems that anticipate needs and reduce friction. Sun’iy Intellekt aims to:

• Modernize how government agencies operate

• Enable real-time public data analysis

• Build AI-ready infrastructure across cities and institutions

The initiative has already improved the country’s standing in global AI readiness rankings.

Impact on Services and Society

Since implementation began, the government has:

• Built AI labs in universities and ministries

• Trained thousands of public servants and students

• Deployed early AI tools in services like driver’s licenses and health certificates

These steps are bringing the promise of AI in government to life, making public services faster, more secure, and more responsive.

Uzbekistan’s Sun’iy Intellekt is more than a technology program—it’s a transformation blueprint. By aligning AI in government with broader development goals, the initiative positions the country to lead on the regional stage. Its success will depend on responsible scaling, transparent use, and continuous investment in education and innovation.
