en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to a report by Finland's Helsingin Sanomat on June 26 local time, Juha Majanen, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, announced plans to transform the country's entire public sector into an artificial intelligence-based model by 2031. The plan will create a shared AI platform for all levels of government in Finland, integrating the most powerful AI models available on the market, with the goal of increasing public sector productivity by at least 20%.

One of the core objectives of the Finnish government's push for AI-driven reform is to save on human resource costs, freeing up more budget for the welfare system, which faces pressures from an aging population and fiscal constraints. Juha Majanen noted that some layoffs caused by AI will be achieved through natural retirement, but some employees will still be replaced by AI agents.

Finnish union representatives have expressed that the government should use AI to enhance productivity and service quality, rather than as an excuse for layoffs; replacing human workers with AI may weaken public services and place excessive pressure on human employees.
