The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has resulted in intricate legal challenges, which have led to a variety of regulatory approaches in different countries. The study examines the legal framework in Ukraine and the manner in which Ukraine opts to conform to international regulatory frameworks in order to address public policy concerns regarding AI. Consequently, it investigates the changing landscape of AI regulation, with a particular emphasis on Ukraine’s initial endeavours to harmonise its legal framework with the European Union’s standards. It attempts to identify commonalities, gaps, and lessons for Ukraine by examining global practices, such as the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act, Canada’s Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), China’s robust generative AI policies, and the UK’s Bletchley Declaration. The article, using an analytical and comparative law approach, highlights the importance of adaptive and risk-based approaches to promote innovation and safeguard human rights in the AI era.
