Artificial intelligence and new horizons for science: reflections on Tajikistan's global initiative and modern astronomy
Summary and context
The article explains the role of artificial intelligence in scientific research, especially astronomy, and the importance of Tajikistan's initiative to establish an International Day of Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.
DUSHANBE, 2026-09-13 /Khovar National News Agency/. The author writes that rapid progress in digital technologies and computing power has made artificial intelligence an important tool for researchers in many fields, including mathematics, physics, biology and medicine. The article says AI can analyse large volumes of data quickly, reveal complex relationships and make scientific work more efficient.
The piece also refers to the UN General Assembly resolution adopted on the initiative of the Republic of Tajikistan. Under that resolution, from 2027 onward, 31 August as Gregorian will be marked each year as the International Day of Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.
