Only in February, the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence was launched - and now Ukraine is implementing global projects:
- Launched Diia.AI — the world's first national AI assistant for public services.
- We are creating a national LLM and building an AI Factory infrastructure.
- We are integrating AI into Mriia, Diia, projects of the Ministry of Digital Transformation ecosystem, and state processes.
Fedorov also separately highlighted the defense tech track. He noted that artificial intelligence is already working on the battlefield and helping Ukraine defend its freedom.
"Soon - even more ambitious results. By the end of the year, we will present AI assistants in the projects of the Diia ecosystem. And later - we will present the AI Development Strategy until 2030, launch an AI assistant in the Diia application, and present a national language model," wrote the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
