Launch of the AI Committee of the IT Ukraine Association

On July 1st, the first Strategic Session of the AI Committee of the IT Ukraine Association took place. During the session, key issues and challenges facing the AI vertical were identified. The outcomes of the session will serve as the foundation for the committee’s next steps and the development of a roadmap for advancing the AI direction in Ukraine.

   

During the Strategic Session, participants worked in groups across three main areas:

 

• Government Relations and Legal Regulation – discussed the main barriers, legislative challenges, and ideas for future advocacy efforts;

• Education and Talent Development in AI – focused on training specialists, building talent capacity, and addressing challenges in a rapidly growing sector;
• AI Integration in Priority Areas of the IT Industry – analysed how artificial intelligence is transforming other economic sectors and opening new opportunities for business.

 

The AI Committee is not just a platform for discussion but a tool for shaping decisions that will transform the industry. This strategic session was a significant step towards creating a clear, practical roadmap for AI development in Ukraine,

– said Maria Shevchuk, Executive Director of the IT Ukraine Association.

   

The AI Committee was established this year to unite industry leaders, foster constructive dialogue between business and the state, and promote the development of the AI sector in Ukraine.

   

Establishing the AI Committee is not merely another step in the development of the IT industry, but a strategic response to a global challenge of our time. Our ambition is to unite the country’s intellectual potential to build an innovative and competitive AI ecosystem in Ukraine. The first strategic session became a symbolic starting point for rethinking the industry’s future, where every decision is a strategic reinforcement of Ukraine’s AI community on the global tech map,
