The environment of Uzbekistan is currently facing serious problems such as contaminated air, aridness and the drying up of rivers in the Aral Sea area. These challenges are a threat to the natural equilibrium and economic security of this nation. This article investigates how AI can be used to overcome these issues by enhancing monitoring techniques, forecasting future developments, and optimizing resource utilization. It is possible for Uzbekistan to enhance its environmental management systems, ease ecological risks, and encourage sustainable development by using AI technologies that include satellite data processing, IoT sensors and machine learning models. Nevertheless , successful implementation will require investments in data infrastructure, technical expertise, policy frameworks, and public engagement.
