The analytical policy “Ethical Artificial Intelligence and Smart City Tools for Ukraine’s Recovery and EU Integration” explores the potential of ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Smart City tools to enhance Ukraine’s resilience, recovery, and European integration. Based on the European Union’s regulatory and normative frameworks, including the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (2024), the OECD Principles on Artificial Intelligence (2019), and the Guidelines of the European Commission and the Council of Europe—notably, the Council of Europe Framework Convention on AI (CETS No. 225) and the HUDERIA methodology for human rights impact assessment—as well as Ukraine’s own regulatory foundation, such as the Concept for the Development of AI (2020), the Action Plan for AI Development 2025–2026, the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s White Paper on AI Regulation (2024), and the WINWIN Strategy for Digital Innovation (2025–2030), the report assesses Ukraine’s legal, institutional, and ethical readiness for the deployment of AI in public administration and urban development.
The analysis identifies key gaps in national regulation, institutional coordination challenges, and opportunities for integrating ethical AI standards into Ukraine’s governance, education, and digital transformation systems. The recommendations are addressed to public authorities, the education and professional development sectors, and civil society organizations, aiming to promote responsible, human-centric digital transformation in line with European Union principles and values.
