GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ECONOMIC SECTORS: ASSESSING IMPLEMENTATION EFFICIENCY AND ENSURING TECHNOLOGICAL SECURITY
Durdona Abdukaxxorova

This article examines the role of generative artificial intelligence in the digital transformation of economic sectors, with a particular focus on assessing implementation efficiency and ensuring technological security. The study argues that generative AI is becoming a strategic tool for improving productivity, operational speed, decision-making quality, and innovation capacity across manufacturing, finance, logistics, public administration, and other sectors. At the same time, the article emphasizes that the benefits of generative AI are accompanied by serious technological risks, including data leakage, model misuse, privacy violations, unreliable outputs, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The research is based on a qualitative comparative analysis of recent open-access academic and institutional sources, including OECD, World Bank, NIST, and sector-specific studies. The findings show that the effectiveness of generative AI should be evaluated through a dual framework that combines economic performance indicators with technological security criteria. The article concludes that sustainable implementation requires not only digital infrastructure and organizational adaptation, but also strong governance mechanisms, human oversight, and continuous risk monitoring.

ADVANCING SMART TOURISM IN UZBEKISTAN THROUGH DIGITAL MARKETING: A SECONDARY-DATA STUDY
Dilrabo Mardonova

This study analyzes how digital marketing can accelerate the development of smart tourism in Uzbekistan. Although the country has recorded fast growth in visitor flows and stronger global recognition, the move from traditional destination promotion to data-informed smart tourism governance is still incomplete. The evidence shows that Uzbekistan has a promising foundation for smart tourism: inbound tourism trips reached 7.96 million in 2024, internet penetration was 89.0% in January 2025, and active social media identities numbered 11.7 million. However, demand composition reveals an important strategic issue: 76.7% of inbound trips in 2024 were connected with visiting relatives, whereas leisure and recreation represented only 14.9%. This difference suggests that large arrival volumes have not yet been fully converted into higher-value destination-based tourism. The analysis also identifies a developing digital ecosystem that includes official portals, e-visa services, OTA cooperation, mobile cashback tools, and specialized platforms such as Eaten.uz.

MONETARY POLICY TRANSMISSION IN UZBEKISTAN UNDER THE INFLATION TARGETING FRAMEWORK
Kamola Nazarova

This paper discusses the mechanism of transmission of the monetary policy in Uzbekistan in the framework of the inflation targeting (IT) which is officially followed by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan since 2021 (CBU). The analysis indicates that the main refinancing rate is transmitted into the financial system to impact output and prices using methods of Vector Autoregression (VAR) and Structural VAR (SVAR) on quarterly data covering 2010-2023. The results show that interest rate channel is the most effective transmission channel, exchange rate channel comes next and credit channel is limited by structural weakness in the banking sector. The monetary policy shocks explain about 18-22 percent of inflation variance at a 12-month horizon. Some of the major obstacles are dollarization, strong state-owned banking industry, ineffective financial intermediation and low financial literacy. Some of the policy prescriptions include complementary fiscal moderation, faster financial sector reform, and better communication by the central bank.

A NEW THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTION OF VOCATIONAL INTERESTS IN THE CHINESE CULTURAL CONTEXT: THE WBCI SIX-DIMENSIONAL HIERARCHICAL MODEL
Biao Wang

Vocational interest theory has long been dominated by Holland’s RIASEC model. Although its simplicity, interpretability, and practical usefulness remain influential, its broad-band categories are increasingly unable to capture finer-grained differences in contemporary occupational structures and non-Western cultural contexts. This article proposes the WBCI six-dimensional hierarchical model, composed of six first-order dimensions and twelve second-order factors, to reflect the Chinese cultural context and occupational ecology. The model highlights functionally important distinctions that are often compressed in traditional classifications, such as influential interaction versus supportive interaction, technical construction versus normative execution, and business expansion versus transactional allocation. This purely conceptual article systematically clarifies the theoretical gaps addressed by WBCI, its construct boundaries, its comparative relationship with existing models, and its future validation path. WBCI provides a theoretically clearer, more culturally embedded, and more operational framework for vocational assessment, career counseling, major selection, and occupational matching.

FROM ASSET-HEAVY EXPANSION TO ASSET-LIGHT TRANSFORMATION: EVOLUTIONARYS MECHANISM AND PERFORMANCE PATHWAYS OF CHINESE TOURISM ENTERPRISES’ OUTWARD FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT: A LONGITUDINAL CASE STUDY OF H WORLD GROUP (2014–2024)
Zhibo Wei

This study conducts a longitudinal case analysis of H World Group (2014–2024) to investigate the evolutionary mechanism of Chinese tourism enterprises' transition from asset-heavy to asset-light OFDI. The findings reveal that under macro-level pressures, firms leverage digital capabilities to construct a chain mechanism of "model → localization → legitimacy → performance". The asset-light model effectively overcomes the liability of foreignness through non-equity control and local embeddedness. This paper revises the explanatory limitations of the OLI paradigm, expands the social dimension and dynamic perspective of tourism investment research, and suggests that Belt and Road countries such as Uzbekistan can achieve sustainable development and inclusive growth by attracting capability-output-oriented investment.
