The regulatory approach towards artificial intelligence is currently the subject of heated debate among policy makers. This regulatory debate is, however, dominated by a one-dimensional viewpoint, in which the digital forest cannot always be seen for its trees. Contrary to popular belief, however, artificial intelligence does not in and of itself constitute a regulatory problem. Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a new phenomenon. Various AI applications, such as machine vision, have been in use in Finland for several decades.
