At IT Arena, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced the start of cooperation with ElevenLabs to integrate voice support into Ukrainian government services. The first joint product, a digital twin, has already been launched. Plans include adding voice AI to the Diia portal and app, introducing innovations to government education platforms, and strengthening the Ministry of Digital Transformation’s internal tools (in particular, AI assistants for onboarding). ‘The future belongs to agentive states,’ said Fedorov, explaining that interaction with the state should be reduced to a single request or even a voice message.
