Tajikistan has officially launched Area AI, the world’s first Special Artificial Intelligence Zone, marking a major milestone in the country’s ambition to become a global hub for responsible AI innovation, Khovar reported citing the press release issued by Ai CONF 2025. The launch was formalized with the signing of the Area AI Investment Consortium in Dushanbe, uniting leading global companies in the AI sector.
Area AI is designed to be a dedicated zone focused entirely on the development, deployment, and ethical use of artificial intelligence technologies.
