AI to the rescue. Uzbekistan will spend billions to reduce the cost of building materials

Uzbekistan, Tashkent – ​​AN Podrobno.uz. Uzbekistan has proposed reducing the cost of building materials produced in the country by introducing artificial intelligence technologies into production.

Measures to digitalize the production of building materials were presented on November 20 at a meeting with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. It was noted that to stimulate technological modernization, 100 billion soums will be allocated over two years to enterprises implementing digital solutions.
