Artificial intelligence is assisting in the search for missing Ukrainian citizens during the war with Russia. It particularly focuses on facial recognition.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights, stated this.
He mentioned that Ukraine is also working on utilizing artificial intelligence in other sectors. Lubinets added that as Ukraine develops its technology sector, including its path to EU accession, the country is forming new partnerships in this direction.
The Ombudsman's Office is actively involved in this work. The institution's employees participate in the meetings of the working group on the legal regulation of artificial intelligence issues within the National Bar Association of Ukraine, as well as in the strategic session "Creating a Legal Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Ukraine" organized by the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
The representative of the ombudsman for information rights and office employees are engaged in discussions and research on other projects aimed at addressing problematic issues, including privacy and cybersecurity threats, disinformation, and increased interference with privacy.
"It is worth remembering that the goal of artificial intelligence is primarily to contribute to the development of individuals, society, and the state. Considering the interests, rights, and freedoms of individuals should be paramount in this field," stated Lubinets.
