Ukraine Will Create Its Own Artificial Intelligence
Ukraine has begun developing its first large-scale language model focused on the Ukrainian language. The Ministry of Digital Transformation has announced this project at Forbes AI Day 2025.
Mykhailo Fedorov, the head of the ministry, emphasized the importance of creating a national language model that would take into account the specifics of the Ukrainian language, including dialects and terminology. He noted that many countries are actively investing in artificial intelligence development and creating their own language models, so Ukraine needs to accelerate this process to keep up with global leaders.
The model development is one of the key tasks of the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence. The model is expected to be ready for use in November-December 2025.
This language model will become the foundation for creating various artificial intelligence products that can be used in government services, defense sector, and business. For example, these technologies are planned to be integrated into the “Diia”, “Mriia” platforms and the army.
Fedorov emphasized that this will open up wide opportunities for Ukrainian business. In particular, entrepreneurs will be able to create automated chatbots, voice assistants, and intelligent consultants for online stores.
It is important to note that the development of the Ukrainian language model is being carried out with the support of private partners, without the use of state funds.
