Karakalpakstan is becoming one of Central Asia’s most active AI regions: a state AI center in Nukus, the first Karakalpak-language AI products, and major data-center investments announced since 2025.

A plain-language glossary of the words you meet in every AI conversation — from neural networks to inference.

Government offices use AI not for spectacle but for routine: notifying citizens automatically, accepting appeals at kiosks, and helping operators watch safety cameras.

ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are chat assistants built on large language models (LLMs) — neural networks trained on huge amounts of text to read and write language.
