ОЦІНКА РІВНЯ ПІДГОТОВЛЕНОСТІ УКРАЇНИ ДО ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ ІНСТРУМЕНТАРІЮ ШТУЧНОГО ІНТЕЛЕКТУ

The aim of the paper is to assess the preparedness of Ukraine to implement artificial intelligence tools, analyze the strengths and weaknesses, and develop suggestions for strategic development directions. The methodology includes analysis of international indices, state statistics, legislation, and estimation of expert opinions. As a result, key barriers to AI development in Ukraine were discovered, including, first of all, low intensity of innovation activity, insufficient legal regulation, and reduced investment in research and development. The practical significance of the study lies in identifying ways to create a favorable environment for faster implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in Ukraine. This entails the process of aligning the regulatory system with international standards, strengthening state support for innovation, and investment in strategic industries in times of war.
