Finland aims for the top in AI

Finland is developing a suggestion for the country's very own artificial intelligence (AI) programme to become the best in the world in the field. Finland's Minister of Economic Affairs Mika Lintilä today announced the establishment of an AI-focussed steering group. According to Lintilä, AI has risen to the core of the next wave of digitalisation, and Finland, in line with the current government programme, is harnessing its expertise to take advantage of this development. The goal is to make AI and robotics the key to success for Finnish companies. Lintilä states that Finland wants to be the best in the world in applying AI and renewing ways of working.
