KEY ASPECTS OF IMPROVING ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES

Using JSC "O'zbekiston temir yo'llari" (Uzbekistan Railways) as a case study, the article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies can improve the economic efficiency of industrial and infrastructure enterprises. The analysis shows that, in the first nine months of 2025, 53.4% of net profit was attributable to exchange-rate differences, while the cost of services accounted for 80.9% of revenue. AI-based cost reductions of 3–20% are estimated to generate annual savings of UZS 0.36–2.37 trillion.
