The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing the Documentation and Digitization of Museum Collections in Uzbekistan
Abstract
The rapid growth of digital technology has revolutionized heritage management, particularly in museums. This paper examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance the documentation and digitization of museum collections in Uzbekistan. The integration of AI in museums provides new tools for cataloging, describing, and preserving artifacts while improving public accessibility and research efficiency. By analyzing both global practices and Uzbekistan’s emerging initiatives, this thesis highlights how AI can transform traditional museology into a more dynamic, data-driven discipline. The study emphasizes automation, metadata standardization, and intelligent image recognition as essential components of digital transformation in the cultural heritage sector.
