Finnish labour market organisations publish joint principles of digitalisation and AI
Finnish labour market organisations have agreed on joint principles of digitalisation and artificial intelligence. According to the organisations, the future of a digitalising Finland must be built on our society’s existing ethical value base that emphasises trust and communality.

Positive development can be hastened by policy measures, public funding and collaboration. The goal is a high-quality working life, characterised by employee wellbeing and high labour productivity.”, the seven organisations state in the principles.
The joint principles of digitalisation and AI are published by the following labour market organisations: Confederation of Unions for Professional and Managerial Staff in Finland (Akava), Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), Commission for Church Employers (KiT), Local Government Employers (KT), Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK), Finnish Confederation of Salaried Employees (STTK) and Office for the Government as Employer (VTML).
