DUSHANBE, 15.08.2025 (NIAT Khovar) – The Agency for Innovation and Digital Technologies under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan has established an Interdepartmental Commission for the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence.

The commission will coordinate the implementation of national policy in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies and promote the effective implementation of the “Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence until 2040.”

As part of the Strategy, the Agency is actively promoting the implementation of AI for the sustainable development of the country and the region. Supported by a recent UN General Assembly resolution, this direction covers cooperation with other Central Asian states, as well as the development of AI in key sectors – agriculture, industry, healthcare, trade and finance.

The document emphasizes the importance of complying with international law and the principles of a safe, inclusive, and open digital future.

The center will promote knowledge sharing, training of specialists, development of educational programs, and self-regulation mechanisms for safe and reliable AI systems.

The agency is also implementing comprehensive digitalization projects aimed at overcoming infrastructure gaps, strengthening human resources, and stimulating public-private partnerships.
