Tieto the first Nordic company to appoint Artificial Intelligence to the leadership team of the new data-driven businesses unit

Tieto established its new data-driven businesses unit in July 2016 to help Nordic organisations to create innovative data-driven services and new business models. In support of this goal, Tieto is also investigating the opportunities AI can present to the new unit's leadership team. Alicia T. will become a full-fledged member of the management team and also possess the capacity to cast votes. "I am proud that we are the first Nordic company to invite AI to become a member of the leadership team of the new data-driven businesses unit. Our team is on a mission to make the future more intelligent. Our developers at the new data-driven unit want to test how AI – a technology which is increasingly popular in home electronics – could assist organisations in data-driven decision-making. I am confident that Alicia T. will help us in finding information and making data-based decisions that humans don't necessarily think of – and thus perhaps create something yet unforeseen," says Ari Järvelä, Head of Data-Driven Businesses.
