Yes, current will work in UI action.

You can use Current in script and condition fields of UI action.

Refer to existing OOTB UI actions where current is used for better understanding.

I just tried it and current object was not available in UI action. So unless you have a client interaction as a part of this UI action, please use business rule and not UI action. Its much easier, and gives you flexibility on when to run it. 

In case you need client interaction and server script both as a part of UI action: Please refer to the following link:

Hello,

"current" is only available at server-side.

For client-side access to the current record, use g_form.
