Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, ethical issues, Uzbekistan, harmful content, transparency, accountability, AI Ethics Council, AI legislation, personal data, international experience.Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in Uzbekistan and the ethical issues associated with them. The research is based on real data collected from statistical reports for 2023–2024, student surveys, expert interviews, and official documents. The study reveals that the use of AI tools is rapidly increasing in Uzbekistan; however, pressing problems such as the rise of harmful content, the lack of personal data protection, and insufficient transparency in AI systems have been identified. Compared to international standards, the legal framework in Uzbekistan remains underdeveloped. The author proposes practical recommendations aimed at strengthening specific legislation on AI ethics, establishing an independent Ethics Council, and improving accountability and transparency within AI systems. The study concludes that adopting global best practices and adapting them to national needs should become a key strategic direction for Uzbekistan.
