Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into museum management systems across Central Asia promises to revolutionize how cultural heritage is preserved, documented, and exhibited.However, alongside these technological advancements arise ethical, technical, and institutional challenges. This thesis explores the key dilemmas faced by museums in the region—particularly in Uzbekistan—as they adopt AI-driven systems for cataloging, digitization, and visitor engagement. The study analyzes how issues of cultural sensitivity, data bias, and technological dependency may impact the authenticity and integrity of heritage management.
