Smart algorithms that make up artificial intelligence are already shaping the future. Thus, many megalopolises around the world are investing in becoming smart cities that use artificial intelligence for the public good. At the end of April, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov conducted an extended sitting of the Cabinet of Ministers in the new administrative centre of the Ahal velayat, which is under construction, where large-scale work is underway to erect a complex of buildings and structures designed to create a functional and comfortable living environment.

This directly depends on the successful introduction and widespread use of digitalisation opportunities. In Turkmenistan, this process is carried out in accordance with the Programme of the President of Turkmenistan of the socioeconomic development of the country for 2019–2025, the Conception of digital economy development in Turkmenistan for 2019–2025 and the State Programme of digital economy development in Turkmenistan for 2021–2025. Of particular importance is the implementation of major infrastructure projects, including the creation of the first “smart” city in Turkmenistan.
