AI cameras in schools: Rumors about fines spread
Reports are circulating on social media about the launch of AI-powered cameras in Uzbekistan's schools to monitor student attendance.
The circulating information claims that the new system can automatically record whether a student has attended class and transmit the data to school administration and prevention inspectors.
However, the most discussed part of the report is — claims about large fines and administrative detention for parents.
1. What are AI cameras said to monitor?
According to the circulating reports, the "smart" cameras installed in schools can automatically track student attendance.
The system is said to be able to:
record a student's arrival at school;
identify cases of truancy;
send data to responsible staff;
allow the school principal to monitor attendance remotely.
This information is currently circulating on social media. Most search results consist of posts from Telegram channels.
2. The biggest buzz — about fines
Some posts claim that parents of students who miss classes without a valid reason will face 1 to 5 BHM, which is approximately 440,000 to 2.2 million soums in fines.
For repeated or chronic truancy, reports suggest 10–15 BHM, i.e., a fine of 4.4–6.6 million soums or up to 15 days of administrative detention.
However, one should not rush to accept these figures as a new measure linked to the introduction of AI cameras.
3. Is the report that "it starts in all schools tomorrow" confirmed?
Reports have also circulated on social media that the cameras will start working in "many schools as early as tomorrow."
But so far, in open official sources, it is difficult to find confirmed information that AI cameras will be launched in all or many schools tomorrow, or that automatic fines will be imposed through them .
Therefore, it is important to wait for an official explanation before drawing conclusions that alarm parents and students.
4. What does the news about AI cameras actually mean?
If such technology is widely implemented, the process of monitoring school attendance could become significantly digitized.
However, it is not just about technology here, but also about data privacy, the rules for using cameras, and what legal measures will be taken based on automatically detected cases are also important issues.
Therefore, the legal basis and operating mechanism of any new system must be officially explained.
What is known and what is unconfirmed so far

Conclusion: The sensational news should be treated with caution for now
Reports are widely circulating on social media about monitoring school attendance via AI cameras and imposing heavy fines on parents of truant students.
However, it is not correct to accept information about fine amounts, 15-day administrative detention, and the large-scale launch of cameras tomorrow as a final decision until officially confirmed.
Most importantly, parents should check information from official sources before resharing circulating reports.
