LONDON, January 7. /Dunyo IA/.  The British news portal “London Post” published an article titled “Uzbekistan introduces its first national Artificial Intelligence System: BONU AGI”.

Uzbekistan has taken an important step toward digital self-reliance with the launch of BONU AGI, the country’s first nationally developed artificial intelligence system. The project marks a departure from the widespread practice of simply adopting global AI platforms, instead proposing a model grounded in Uzbekistan’s cultural, social, and historical context.

“BONU AGI was designed based on the principle that AI should not operate in a cultural vacuum. The system interprets user queries while considering local social and cultural nuances, enabling it to more accurately reflect Uzbek communication styles, ways of thinking and question formulation”, - article states.

The initiative was founded by Baxtiyor Bobohonov, Sardorbek Tursunbekov, and Otabek Sidikov, specialists who combine technical expertise with a nuanced understanding of local realities. Their work reflects a conscious attempt to align advanced artificial intelligence technologies with the societal environment in which they are meant to operate.

Beyond its immediate functionality, BONU AGI carries broader strategic significance. It reflects Uzbekistan’s gradual shift from being a consumer of imported digital solutions to becoming a creator of its own technological infrastructure. At a time when questions of data sovereignty, technological independence, and cultural representation in AI systems are gaining global relevance, such national projects acquire added importance.

The platform is currently available in an open-access format. Users are encouraged to register, submit clearly structured queries, and engage respectfully with the system to ensure effective interaction and accurate responses.

“Ultimately, “BONU AGI” represents more than a new digital product. It offers an early example of how artificial intelligence can be shaped by national context, potentially serving as a reference point for other countries seeking to develop AI systems that reflect their own cultural and social identities.”, - concludes “London Post”.
