Azerbaijan intends to expand the introduction of artificial intelligence in the public sector and in business.
Azerbaijan plans to expand the use of artificial intelligence in both public institutions and the private sector. This was stated by the Deputy Chairman of the Digital Innovation and Development Agency (İRIA) Shahin Aliyev at an educational event "Digital Skills for Media" organized for journalists.
According to him, one of the key areas is the improvement and further development of the infrastructure.
"In this context, the appropriate infrastructure has already been created in the government cloud, and it is planned to expand it in the future."
Aliev said.
Shahin Aliyev also emphasized the importance of developing an ecosystem for innovation. In particular, it is planned to develop and implement mechanisms to support startups and private IT companies in creating innovative services and products.
"As you know, benefits have already been given for 10 years to the residents of the technoparks in our country. Today, Azerbaijan creates favorable conditions for IT activities not only for locals, but also for foreign companies from other countries in the region.
he emphasized.
The head of IRIA mentioned that in February of this year the Digital Development Council was established, and the action plan for accelerating digital development for the years 2026-2028 was approved. The document allows for the complete digitization of public services and internal processes of government agencies, the introduction of data-based decision-making mechanisms, as well as the unification of public services on government platforms and government businesses. In addition, the development of the digital infrastructure, the introduction of artificial intelligence and the strengthening of the innovation system are among the priorities.
