The introduction of modern digital technologies and scientific and technical solutions is an important condition for the development of Turkmenistan and improving the quality of life of the population. The development of science and technology remains one of the priority areas of the country's state policy, according to the online publication ‘Business Turkmenistan’.

In this context, the ‘Concept for the Development of the Digital Economy of Turkmenistan for 2026–2028’ is being implemented, aimed at developing digital infrastructure, improving the efficiency of public administration and the competitiveness of the economy.

The programme provides for the introduction of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, fintech and cloud computing. Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science that creates systems capable of analysing data, learning and making decisions based on complex algorithms. One of the key areas of AI is machine learning, which allows systems to improve based on the processing of large data sets.

Today, artificial intelligence technologies are actively used in various fields. In logistics, they help predict demand, optimise routes and reduce environmental impact. In business and industry, AI is used for data analysis, improving management efficiency, quality control and predictive equipment maintenance.

In healthcare, machine learning technologies help analyse medical data, improve diagnostics and develop new treatments. They are also used in biomedicine to search for new drugs and create antibodies. In the financial sector, AI is used to analyse risks, detect fraud and evaluate investment opportunities.
