Adobe released a new plugin for ChatGPT on Thursday, August 6th. This plugin consolidates functionalities that were previously offered separately by products such as Photoshop Express and Acrobat, bringing together over 70 tools dedicated to image and document editing.
In an official statement, the company announced that this plugin allows support for various workflows, ranging from photo editing and promotional video production to developing marketing materials and creating complex PDFs, thanks to the more than 70 tools from Adobe's creative and productivity suites.
To integrate the plugin with ChatGPT, users must follow specific instructions. After installation, tasks can be executed using commands written in natural language. Examples provided by Adobe include requests such as 'resize my video for social media,' 'change the background to pink,' and 'create a packaging template.'
Although an Adobe account is optional, logging in allows users to access Creative Cloud files and save progress for continuity across different devices. Users who have Adobe plan subscriptions also have access to generative credits, which are essential for using certain more advanced features of the toolset.
The Adobe plugin operates on several versions of ChatGPT, including Codex and ChatGPT Work. Additionally, the company provides equivalent tools in Claude through the Adobe for Creativity connector, and in Copilot, using Acrobat and Adobe Express plugins. Adobe is also developing similar solutions for Google Gemini and Slack.
The President issued an instruction regarding the need to increase the number and expand the scope of projects related to artificial intelligence. During a presentation dedicated to the development of the artificial intelligence ecosystem under Shavkat Mirziyoyev's leadership, it was noted that the number of AI-based projects implemented in the economy and social sphere must be increased by more than 100 this year.
Solutions being developed in areas such as medicine, energy, transport, customs, legal services, public safety, ecology, and geology were presented.
The importance of systematic cooperation with residents of IT-Park, startups, and more than twenty artificial intelligence laboratories was emphasized. It is expected that the number of residents working in this field will reach 300 this year, the volume of services provided by them will amount to 2 trillion UZS, and exports will reach 160 million dollars.
Attention was drawn to the fact that the effectiveness of AI solutions directly depends on a high-quality database. Therefore, a task was set to process existing data in ministries and departments, ensure its completeness, reliability, and consistency, as well as form high-quality datasets in interdisciplinary fields.
The issue of personnel training was also discussed separately. To date, over 1.5 million users have received special certificates in artificial intelligence. Furthermore, a goal was set to fully implement the 'Five Million AI Leaders' project within the next two years.
The presentation also listed the Republic's achievements in the field of artificial intelligence over recent years.
An additional investment of $70 million has been planned in Uzbekistan to increase the computing capabilities required for advancing artificial intelligence projects. These funds will be allocated both for upgrading the existing cluster and for creating entirely new infrastructure.
The issue of developing computing resources was raised during a presentation attended by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, where current achievements and future tasks for building an AI ecosystem in the country were discussed.
Currently, a supercomputing complex operates in Uzbekistan, located in the 'Digital Government' data center. This complex is based on technologies from the American company NVIDIA and ranks 321st in the global power rating.
Since its launch, the system has demonstrated significant demand for computing resources: in the first month of operation, the cluster load reached 90%, confirming the high need for such capacities for both state and commercial initiatives.
Previously, a computing infrastructure worth $24 million was launched in the country. Further expansion of this base is planned through new investments, as well as the implementation of joint projects with foreign partners. The creation of data centers in Karakalpakstan is being considered as a promising direction.
To ensure the effective operation of AI systems, not only the volume of computing power but also the quality of the data used is critical. Therefore, ministries and agencies have been instructed to conduct a full inventory of available information, verify its accuracy and completeness, and organize data integration between different systems.
Furthermore, specialized industry datasets are planned to be formed, which will serve as the basis for developing and implementing AI solutions in the fields of economy and social life.
Additionally, it was previously reported that large-scale digitalization of the water supply system in Uzbekistan had begun. A unified electronic platform displaying all water infrastructure projects and groundwater data is scheduled to become operational in September 2026. A new position of deputy chairman of the board, responsible for implementing AI and digitalization, will be established at Uzsuvtaʼminot JSC.
