SPEKA has published an article exploring the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in Ukraine in 2025. The piece features insights from government officials, business leaders, and the expert community — including members of the GovTech Alliance of Ukraine (GTA UA).

The publication highlights key forecasts and trends in the AI sector that are already shaping Ukraine’s digital future. GTA UA representatives shared their perspectives on the practical challenges and strategic directions for AI development.

Kateryna Stavniichuk, CEO of GTA UA, believes that AI will enhance digital transformation in the public sector and emphasized the importance of a systemic approach to AI regulation:

“Innovative products — such as proactive services in Diia and AI-powered analytics systems — will strengthen Ukraine’s leadership in the adoption of digital technologies in the public sector. At the same time, we must already be forming an ethical and transparent framework for their use.”

Vasyl Zadvornyy, Business Development Officer at MK-Consulting, highlighted the practical impact of AI on the public sector:

“AI can improve the efficiency of public services, making them more accessible and transparent. Initiatives to automate government registries and services can significantly reduce bureaucracy and strengthen public trust in state institutions.”

Oleksandr Iefremov, CEO of Kitsoft, spoke about the practical use of AI in Ukrainian GovTech products:

“At our company, we are actively integrating AI into our product — the low-code platform Liquio, designed for rapid deployment of public services. Our AI assistant helps low-code developers analyze technical requirements and build the business process of an online service on the platform. It also operates in co-pilot mode, offering contextual suggestions and drawing on an internal knowledge base. This accelerates routine work on launching digital public services and allows specialists to focus on creatively solving complex problems.”

At the same time, Kateryna Stavniichuk outlined key challenges the Ukrainian GovTech sector will face with deeper AI integration in systems and services, including:

• Establishing ethical AI standards
• Protecting citizens’ personal data
• Integrating AI into existing government systems
• Strengthening cybersecurity against AI-driven threats

At GTA UA, we believe that sustainable AI development in the public sector is only possible with strong ethical standards, cross-sector collaboration, and a human-centered approach. That’s why we support initiatives that foster open dialogue between government, business, and experts on AI implementation in GovTech.
