At least 64% of employees in Uzbekistan use artificial intelligence (AI) in their work, according to a survey by HeadHunter, seen by Kursiv Uzbekistan. For 22% of respondents, using AI has already become part of their daily routine.
AI tools are most commonly used by employees in industry, IT, finance, and accounting. Most respondents apply neural networks for tasks such as information search and filtering, report writing, and responding to routine messages.
Only 5% of employees are currently willing to delegate document completion or client communication to AI systems.
The majority of respondents see AI development and workplace automation as part of technological progress. Around 54% describe generative technologies as helpful tools that save time and effort, while 16% express concern about AI gradually replacing human workers. Only 4% believe AI is useless.
36% of those surveyed are confident that AI will not replace them at work within the next five years. 34% expect AI to take over only some of their tasks, while 14% believe their entire job will eventually be automated — of whom 6% said they would welcome that outcome.
ChatGPT remains the most popular AI tool in Uzbekistan, used or recognised by 68% of respondents. Next come automated reporting tools, Excel macros, and chatbots. In third place are AI platforms for image generation.
Earlier, Kursiv Uzbekistan reported that Cyber University in Uzbekistan had signed a cooperation agreement with Stanford University to jointly develop AI research and education.
