Uzbekistan will establish a National Transfer Office in the United States’ Silicon Valley, while a supercomputing and AI cluster will be launched in the country with the support of Nvidia, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced.
The initiatives are aimed at advancing artificial intelligence across Uzbekistan. «Centres of the Future» will teach schoolchildren AI technologies, and an annual competition will select the best student startup ideas in AI, with winners receiving state-of-the-art laboratories.
