Entrepreneur Gallup: The use of artificial intelligence has become rapidly more common in Finnish SMEs
Yrittäjägalup investigated the use of artificial intelligence in companies. Almost three out of five SMEs (57%) already use artificial intelligence: 19% regularly and 38% occasionally. The biggest obstacle to using artificial intelligence is a lack of skills (43%). Training is still needed most to improve the efficiency of one's own work and to market it. Yrittäjät, together with Elisa, will invest extensively in artificial intelligence training next year as well.
