Uzbekistan invited Russia to fight together deep fakes. While the collaboration numbers grow by themselves.
The spokesman for the President of Uzbekistan, Sherzod Asadov, said at the Russian-Uzbek media forum that no attempts to spread disinformation should become a cause of misunderstanding between countries. The republic invited Moscow to jointly fight deep counterfeiting, exchange experience against Internet fraudsters and jointly develop models of artificial intelligence languages.
There are 15 branches of Russian universities in Uzbekistan, and tens of thousands of Uzbek students study in Russia. Russian technology companies are already deeply involved in the daily life of the republic - from online maps and taxis to voice assistants in Uzbek. The trade turnover at the end of 2025 reached 13 billion dollars (an increase of more than 12%), and during the seven months of the year trade added another 20%. Today there are approximately three thousand media outlets in the republic, of which 67% are private.
