Assessment of the effectiveness of international standards and regulatory acts governing artificial intelligence models for Ukraine

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive study of the effectiveness of international standards and regulatory acts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of determining the most appropriate model for their implementation in Ukraine. The aim of the work is to conduct a comparative assessment of the leading approaches to AI regulation developed in the EU, the US, Canada, the UK, South Korea, China and other countries, as well as recognised international ISO/IEC standards. The study is based on the comprehensive use of multi-criteria analysis methods: pairwise comparisons, determination of weight coefficients on the Fishburn scale, ranking methods, scoring and numerical evaluation. The assessment was carried out using a system of unconditional and conditional criteria, including validity, flexibility, ethics, complexity, progressiveness, level of transparency of algorithms, prospects for integration, availability of institutional support, and impact on innovative development. The use of the MathCad environment allowed for mathematical modelling and calculation of integral performance indicators.

The results showed that the most balanced and promising for implementation in Ukraine are the European approach (EU AI Act) and the Canadian approach (AIDA), which demonstrate a high level of regulatory maturity, transparency of regulatory procedures, the presence of an ethical component, and effective institutional support. The American approach (NIST AI RMF) and the ISO/IEC 23894 standard took intermediate positions due to their versatility and flexibility. In contrast, the Chinese model showed the lowest adaptability to Ukrainian conditions due to the dominance of centralised control principles. The proposed assessment methodology can be used to develop a national AI regulation strategy in Ukraine aimed at ensuring a balance between security, ethics and innovative technological development.
