A signing ceremony for the Area AI investment consortium took place in Dushanbe as part of the AI Conf 2025 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The event organizers announced the signing ceremony.
The agreement marks the launch of the world's first Special Zone for Artificial Intelligence. This initiative follows Tajikistan's proposal to the United Nations on the need to create global self-regulatory mechanisms in the field of artificial intelligence.
The main goal of the Area AI consortium is to transform Tajikistan into a regional hub for the development of artificial intelligence technologies. The project aims to unite leading international AI companies, research centers, IT holdings, and startups, thereby creating a new technological ecosystem in the country.
The Special AI Zone is planned to be entirely focused on the development, testing, and implementation of applications and solutions based on neural network technologies. The consortium will act as a governing body, ensuring coordination between the various project participants and stimulating the implementation of advanced AI solutions.
The project's program also includes educational initiatives: by 2028, millions of schoolchildren in Tajikistan will be enrolled in courses related to artificial intelligence, which will help prepare a new generation of specialists and developers.
The implementation of the Area AI project opens new opportunities for international cooperation, stimulates the development of the country's technology sector, and strengthens Tajikistan's position on the global innovation stage.
