Abstract The research analyzes the impact of AI on innovative culture and the quality of higher education. The research is based on data from 14 countries in South and Central Asia (SCA) for 2024. Using comparative analysis, the authors demonstrate a high level of AI-driven economic development and quality higher education, along with an outstanding innovative culture in Uzbekistan in 2024, compared to the regional average in SCA countries. This establishes Uzbekistan’s leadership in the region in terms of engagement with the Fifth Industrial Revolution. Through regression analysis, the authors developed an econometric model to measure the impact of AI-driven economic factors on the indicators of innovative culture and higher education quality in SCA countries. The theoretical contribution of this model lies in its ability to reveal causal relationships between the development of the AI economy and its potential to support the growth of innovative culture and improve higher education quality. The research identifies significant prospects for fostering an innovative culture and enhancing higher education quality in Uzbekistan based on AI-driven economic advancements, supported by the authors’ forecast through 2028. This forecast can be a practical roadmap for advancing innovative culture and higher education quality in Uzbekistan through AI-driven economic development over the coming years. The main conclusion highlights the feasibility of transitioning to Industry 5.0 in Uzbekistan, provided that AI’s role in advancing innovative culture and improving higher education quality is optimized through increased data accessibility and AI infrastructure development. This is to be achieved while maintaining the 2024 levels of e-government based on AI and the practical application of AI technologies.
