INTRODUCTION The Russian-speaking youth of Uzbekistan is of interest from the point of view of their communicative behavior and language practice. The aim of the study is to identify transformations in the speech behavior of Russian-speaking youth of Uzbekistan under the influence of artificial intelligence (AI). Currently, young people are significantly influenced by artificial intelligence, which is integrated into their daily lives, studies, or work, manifesting in speech characteristics that combine both positive and negative aspects. This fact emphasizes the need to study the speech behavior of Russian-speaking youth of Uzbekistan, which is influenced by the introduction of AI into their lives. This has a dual impact on young people: it expands educational and professional opportunities, but at the same time leads to the transformation of speech activity and the modification of speech culture.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material consisted of fragments of communication on Telegram and VKontakte, covering the age category from 16 to 30 years old. The main methods were content analysis and the components of the descriptive method (collection, systematization and classification of linguistic phenomena). More than 300 messages and comments were analyzed.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The analysis of the factual material showed an increase in the frequency of anglicisms, syntactic simplification, the algorithmization of expressions, and stylistic hybridity, the active introduction of template constructions, and the presence of metalinguistic references to AI in everyday communication.

CONCLUSION. Artificial intelligence technologies are transforming language practice and forming new norms of network communication among Russian-speaking youth of Uzbekistan. AI technology is becoming an active participant in communication, influencing the formation of the content of the message.
