causes significant damage to infrastructure, the economy, and society. The reconstruction process is complex and resource-intensive, with limited
available resources. The potential for reparations from the aggressor is uncertain, prompting the need for financial assistance from Western partners and
private investors. Ensuring the transparent and effective use of funds along with guarantees of investment protection is crucial. The Ukrainian government
must also work on attracting people and businesses back to the affected areas, which is vital for community revival. It is important to develop a clear,
well-justified vision for the restoration and development of regions, especially those near the zones of the aggression. This process involves
collecting and analysing demographic data, spatial planning, and infrastructure development, complicated by active hostilities and resource constraints.
Artificial intelligence technologies present significant opportunities in this restoration process. The potential of Artificial intelligence creates
conditions for planning infrastructure projects by analysing large datasets to identify optimal construction sites. Additionally, Artificial
intelligence can support the development of innovative technologies to enhance economic stability and attract investments by creating new business
opportunities and improving the quality of life in areas such as education, healthcare, employment, and transportation. The role of Artificial
intelligence extends to ensuring Ukraine’s defence capability, improving existing systems, predicting the military situation, and enhancing
communication within military units. However, the successful implementation of Artificial intelligence’s growing potential requires substantial
investments in research, development, and practical implementation. Developing open-source intelligent models to solve specific tasks and continuous
user support are essential for leveraging Artificial intelligence’s full potential in Ukraine’s recovery and development. KEY WORDS CLASSIFICATION
