Artificial intelligence, the digitalisation of the country, and the role of youth in creating Ukraine’s digital future were brought into focus as students of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) participated in the dialogue themed “AI: Ukraine 2.0 and Generation Building It,” joining experts and specialists who drive Ukraine’s digital transformation.
Among participants in the meeting were Oleksandr Bornyakov, Acting Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine; Natalia Denikeieva, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation; Oleksandr Marikovski, Member of Ukraine’s Parliament, Chair of the Subcommittee on Regional Economic Cooperation and Trade at the parliamentary committee on economic development; and Serhii Stirenko, Kyiv Polytechnic Vice-Rector for Research.
Key topics under discussion included current developments in artificial intelligence and the digital nation. Participants reflected on the evolution of Ukraine’s digital transformation — from the concept of a “nation in a smartphone” and services through the Ukrainian app called Diia, meaning “action”, to an “Agentic State” offering proactive services based on AI agents designed to execute complex tasks autonomously or with little human involvement.
The dialogue also featured digital reforms, open data and a new stage in the development of public services; the development of defence technologies through the online tech cluster called Brave1, and opportunities for government support for Ukrainian designers, startups, and innovation ecosystems.
Special attention was paid to the impact of artificial intelligence on education: personalised learning trajectories, the gamification of teaching, and the integration of AI into various professional fields ranging from HR to jurisprudence.
Today, Ukraine is one of the countries setting the pace for digital transformation. Currently, the students of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute are becoming part of the generation that is building its digital future.
