Finnish central labor market organizations, such as the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) and the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), have published a shared position on utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in workplaces. The goal is to promote both productivity and employee well-being through the use of AI. 

In the eight-point priority list aimed at decision-makers in Finland and Europe, the following are emphasized:

– Having clear and coherent rules for the digital and data economy
– Providing ethical standards and recommendations for safe and responsible AI use
– Providing funding and investment for AI projects
– Promoting cooperation between stakeholders in AI development and end-user companies, research and public sectors
– Protecting workers' rights, and human rights in general
– Supporting effective and consistent implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
– Promoting dialogue between labor market partners
– Finding together ways to more balanced discussion on AI
