Working alongside the Government of Tajikistan and zypl.ai under the AI-GOV initiative, we aim to support the responsible adoption of production-ready AI across public administration by strengthening institutional capabilities while respecting sovereignty, governance, and local context. We see this collaboration as another great example of how governments can integrate advanced AI into core public services and scale these models responsibly.”
Commenting on the agreement, Minister Sherali Kabir said: “The signing of this tripartite Memorandum of Understanding marks an important milestone in Tajikistan’s journey toward becoming a regional hub for artificial intelligence. This partnership as part of the Area AI platform reflects our commitment to attracting global AI leaders such as Inception to pioneer advanced AI deployments and promote export of value-added AI products and services from Tajikistan to the world.”
