In February, the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis adopted a law on cybersecurity. This law explains what cyberspace, security issues, cyber-attacks and similar terms are. In general, in this direction, we have developed a definition of legal within the framework of the law. Now at today's conference we are planning to introduce new norms in this area into our existing laws, the Criminal Code and the Code of Administrative Responsibility," said Foziljon Otakhonov, Director of the Institute of Legislative Problems and Parliamentary Studies at the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

    As a result, proposals were developed to increase the role of artificial intelligence technologies in achieving information security, as well as specific tasks for the future in this area were identified.
