Artificial intelligence, which has recently permeated various spheres of society, is one of the key areas of computer science. It is a synthetic and multidisciplinary field that integrates numerous areas of knowledge. Numerous scientific disciplines contribute to the formation and development of artificial intelligence, including mathematics, formal and fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, soft computing, machine learning, artificial immune systems, linguistics, neurophysiology, psychology, and philosophy. Therefore, the emergence and continuous evolution of artificial intelligence have led to the rapid advancement of science and technology worldwide. The theory developed by Lotfi A. Zadeh, which plays a crucial role in establishing the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence, occupies a special place in global science. This article examines the study and promotion of Zadeh’s fuzzy logic theory in Azerbaijan within the scientific community. Additionally, the article analyses research conducted by Azerbaijani scholars in the field of artificial intelligence, explores the emergence of artificial intelligence in Azerbaijan, highlights key achievements in this area, and evaluates the contributions of certain scientists to the development of artificial intelligence (pp.127-136).

Keywords:Artificial intelligence, Artificial neural networks, Fuzzy logic, Soft computing, Expert systems
