On May 27, 2025, the Graduate School of Business and Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank, launched a two-day practical seminar titled “Developing Innovative Business Models Through Artificial Intelligence in Uzbekistan.”

 This event brought together representatives from government agencies, private businesses, academia and the technology sector to explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Uzbekistan’s economic modernization strategy.

 The goal of the seminar is to assist representatives from government organizations, business associations and the private sector in mastering practical tools and methods for utilizing artificial intelligence to create effective business models that ensure sustainable development across different organizations.

 As the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Uzbekistan evolves, it is crucial for businesses and government entities to adopt cutting-edge technologies to enhance productivity and global competitiveness.

 Artificial intelligence is emerging as a key tool for achieving the objectives of these strategies, offering unique opportunities for process optimization, service personalization, and the creation of new revenue streams. 

 The seminar occurs at a pivotal moment when Uzbekistan is actively implementing its digital transformation program to enhance competitiveness, innovation, and inclusive growth. 

 The seminar features international AI experts from leading global organizations as well as local specialists from the technology and business communities. Participants will study global practices and adapt them to the local context of Uzbekistan.

 On the first day of the seminar focused on the role of AI in transforming modern business models and its application in sectors such as agriculture, finance, healthcare, logistics and public services. 

 Experts presented case studies on the use of generative AI for innovation and conduct practical sessions on implementing modern technologies within the local context.

 Additionally, ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks for responsible AI implementation were discussed. Participants explored methods for minimizing risks, including algorithmic biases, data protection, and compliance with legislation.

 Attendees also learned about utilizing AI tools in functional operations to enhance efficiency and improve service quality.

 The seminar continues its work.
