Key Research Area: Digitalisation and AI
Digital technologies like Artificial Intelligence, robotics and communications are cut through the whole society, from education to medicine and economics.
This area represents over one third of the scientific publications and university education in the field of digitalisation and AI in Finland.
This forms the foundation for our spearhead in Finland’s drive towards the technological transformation of many aspects of society – from new consumer services to media, entertainment, education, health care, retail, and several areas of industry.
Research in digitalisation and AI relates to both theory and practice: computational and mathematical sciences, software and hardware technologies, secure communications, digital media, services, and engineering and management across technologies and industrial sectors.
This combination provides an excellent launching pad for interdisciplinary innovations. For instance, digitalisation and social media are topics which may only be profoundly understood via multidisciplinary viewpoints combining arts, business, science and technology.
