Armenia Renames High-Tech Ministry to Include AI Portfolio

Armenia's government plans to rename its Ministry of High-Tech Industry to the Ministry of High-Tech Industry and Artificial Intelligence, formalizing the agency's expanded responsibilities.

The Ministry of High-Tech Industry drafted the bill proposing amendments to the Law "On the Structure and Activities of the Government" and published it online for public review.

The name change reflects new duties assigned to the ministry: developing and implementing policies for artificial intelligence adoption and cloud computing services.

The government said the revised name will align the ministry's official title with its actual functions, bringing the legal framework into sync with current operations.

For government workers managing technology strategy or policy, the move signals where Armenia's institutional focus lies. It also indicates which ministry will lead AI-related decisions across the public sector.
