Digital Literacy of Civil Servants of Uzbekistan in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
In the era of globalization, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, driving not only scientific and technological progress but also socio-economic development. Countries risk isolation and economic stagnation if they fall behind in AI adoption. In response, Uzbekistan has launched the "Digital Uzbekistan - 2030" strategy, emphasizing comprehensive digitalization across all economic sectors and regions. Despite global advancements, research on the impact and efficacy of AI policies in Uzbekistan remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the strategy's implementation, using a mixed-method approach that includes policy analysis and sectoral case studies. Results indicate notable progress in digital infrastructure, though regional disparities and sector-specific challenges persist. The findings have important implications for policymakers aiming to enhance digital inclusivity and optimize AI-driven growth across Uzbekistan.
