JAKARTA - On October 7, Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation presented a regulatory plan for artificial intelligence (AI). The plan is published on the ministry's website and aims to help local companies prepare to adopt a similar law to the European Union's AI Act. This plan also aims to educate their citizens to protect themselves from AI risk.
According to the program's announcement, the plan is based on a bottom-up approach that suggests moving from slightly to more, and will provide companies with tools to prepare for future requirements before adopting any laws.
This plan set an initial period to allow companies to adapt to laws that may be enforced in the next two to three years.
"We plan to create a corporate self-regulation culture in several ways. One of them is by signing a code of ethics that will state ethical use of AI by the company. Another tool is the White Book which will introduce the company with approaches, time, and stages of implementing regulations," said Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Oleksandr Boniakov.

Ukraine's AI law draft, in accordance with this plan, is expected to emerge in 2024, but not earlier than the European Union's AI Act, in order for national legislation to consider it.
In June, the AI Act of the European Union was passed by the European Parliament. Once implemented, the law will ban certain AI services and products while restricting others.
Among the banned technologies are biometric surveys, social assessment systems, predictive police, "emotional recognition," and untargeted facial recognition systems. Generative AI models, such as OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard, will be allowed to operate if their outputs are marked as AI results.
