THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION: UZBEKISTAN'S EXPERIENCE

Artificial Intelligence does not consider just technology; it is a meaningful and strong tool that brings quality education, personalized learning, and global knowledge closer together through smart systems. I think that, in a world where education is becoming increasingly digital yet divided by access, Artificial Intelligence serves as a bridge between students, teachers, and opportunities, fostering innovation, efficiency, and inclusive growth. In terms of the development of education, Uzbekistan has shown remarkable progress over the past few years. One of the main key sectors of the country’s development strategy, digital transformation and AI play a growing role in promoting educational quality, social connection, and economic growth. This abstract explores how Artificial Intelligence connects different aspects of learning to the rich potential of Uzbekistan’s education system and brings students and teachers from different corners of the country closer together. Uzbekistan is located at the heart of Central Asia’s digital reforms; the country offers more than just traditional classrooms.[1] It invites learners to experience deep-rooted traditions blended with modern AI tools, warm teacher support, and a mix of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge technology. Recently, the country has made significant progress in developing its education sector with AI. Efforts such as launching the National AI Strategy until 2030, piloting platforms like Eduten, simplifying digital access, and promoting AI in schools and universities have made Uzbekistan more advanced and attractive for innovative learning. These conveniences reflect a growing number of students and teachers showing interest in using AI. Regarding human connection, Artificial Intelligence in Uzbekistan allows for personalized learning paths, supports teachers with administrative tasks, and encourages communities to embrace digital literacy.
