Uzbekistan to integrate AI into healthcare, courts, and public services

Transport, logistics, and public safety

A facial recognition system called UzFace will be piloted at Tashkent’s railway stations to verify passengers' identities. AI will also be used to monitor the condition of railway tracks and road surfaces.

Based on international best practices, Uzbekistan plans to introduce an AI-powered hazard warning system.

Other AI applications planned include:

• A model to enhance satellite image accuracy
• Monitoring systems for public and freight drivers (e.g. drowsiness, phone use)
• Computer vision tools to detect minor offenses such as smoking or jaywalking
• AI systems to automatically identify traffic violations committed by electric scooter riders
• Modules for calculating legal expenses and assisting citizens with legal queries
• An AI-powered system to draft court decisions automatically
• A legal document analysis platform for use by citizens and legal professionals
• Enhancements to UzFace to detect illegal littering
• Human identification via clothing, hair color, or carried items using computer vision

Ecology, industry, services, and other areas

UzFace will also be used to detect illegal disposal of household waste using surveillance cameras. Additionally, a digital system will be developed to identify minor violations (e.g. smoking in public or jaywalking), with the offender’s identity confirmed via AI.

Traffic safety violations involving electric scooters will be logged automatically.

Other projects include:

• An AI-based software solution to detect irregularities in public procurement
• Automated verification of supplier bank accounts during government spending
• Detection of changes at mineral resource sites using radar satellite data and AI
• AI-based meeting transcription with speaker identification in Uzbek
• Creation of an Uzbek language corpus and development of a national language model
• A mobile app featuring sign language interpretation
• A robotic system to assess the accessibility of infrastructure for people with disabilities
• AI-driven weather forecasting based on historical data
• Voice and text chatbots for the government services portal
• Auto-verification and data extraction from uploaded documents on the portal
• Voice robot integration for automating the government call center
• Voice-command functionality for completing online forms on the government portal
• AI training programs for government employees and IT professionals

Additionally, Inha University in Tashkent will receive a high-performance computing cluster equipped with graphics processing units (GPUs) and server hardware for large databases. The Ministry of Digital Technologies is tasked with completing procurement by 1 June 2026.
