This article examines the legal and constitutional challenges posed by the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and mass data processing in Uzbekistan. While the state has introduced a foundational legal framework for personal data protection, it has yet to regulate algorithmic governance, automated decision-making, and digital surveillance mechanisms. The study highlights existing legal gaps, institutional weaknesses, and the need for a rights-based, human-centered approach to digital governance. Comparative analysis with foreign models and a critical look at Uzbekistan’s current trajectory suggest that constitutional adaptation is essential to ensure transparency, accountability, and protection of individual freedoms in the age of AI.
