It examines AI’s role in enhancing trade efficiency, expanding export markets, and improving global competitiveness. Drawing on the context of Uzbekistan’s “Digital Uzbekistan-2030” strategy, the study identifies opportunities presented by AI technologies, such as increased productivity, cost reduction, and trade facilitation, while addressing challenges, including skill shortages, funding constraints, and ethical concerns. The research provides actionable recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders to harness AI effectively and responsibly.
