This article delves into the preparation of Ukraine’s AI industry for the adoption of EU standards. The author evaluates six tools outlined in the 2023 Roadmap for the Regulation of AI in Ukraine and their potential application within the AI ecosystem. They are designed to foster the advancement of AI technologies in Ukraine while ensuring compliance with EU standards. It is imperative for government authorities to establish favorable conditions to facilitate the seamless integration of the EU AI Law in the future. The research demonstrates the auxiliary measures that can be employed to synchronize the Ukrainian legislation with the advancement of AI ecosystem. These adaptation tools also play a pivotal role in driving the industry’s growth. This discussion pertains to realizing the scientific, technical, and socio-economic potential of Ukraine’s information and communication technology sphere. The article discusses the significance of regulatory sandboxes and outlines methodologies for testing AI technologies and systems. It defines the tasks of labeling input data for machine learning and output data for generative AI, as well as labeling the AI systems themselves. The author explains the drafting of atypical acts within the EU legal system, such as white papers and codes of conduct, for adaptation. The article provides examples of instructions and recommendations for industry development in compliance with the EU AI Act standards. Furthermore, the author summarizes the role of each tool and suggests expanding the Roadmap to include software for developing and AI educational courses. The study contributes to the ongoing public debate on whether Ukraine requires an AI strategy alongside a government concept. It also includes examples of how the researched tools have been implemented in leading countries such as Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Singapore, the USA. Additionally, it showcases international initiatives within the G7 framework (International Code of Conduct for Organizations Developing Advanced AI Systems) and the Council of Europe (HUDERIA).
