The rapid development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence has significantly transformed the modern corporate environment. Artificial intelligence is increasingly used by companies to automate business processes, improve decision-making, and enhance operational efficiency. Therefore, studying the economic effects of AI adoption in the corporate sector has become highly relevant, especially for countries undergoing digital transformation such as Uzbekistan. The aim of this article is to analyze the economic impact of artificial intelligence adoption in the corporate sector and evaluate its influence on corporate productivity, operational efficiency, and profitability. The research is based on a quantitative analytical approach, including statistical analysis, comparative analysis, and case study methods. The empirical analysis was conducted using a sample of 30 companies from sectors such as banking, telecommunications, manufacturing, and information technology. The results show that companies implementing AI technologies demonstrate higher labor productivity (95,200 USD revenue per employee) compared to companies without AI adoption (71,400 USD). In addition, AI-adopting firms show lower operational costs (38% vs. 46%) and higher profitability indicators (ROA 11.8% compared to 7.4%). The findings confirm that artificial intelligence contributes to improving corporate efficiency and competitiveness. The practical significance of the study lies in providing evidence that AI adoption can support the development of the digital economy and enhance corporate performance in Uzbekistan.
