Few Finnish companies are using AI to advance environmental goals
Published
Artificial intelligence is being used more and more often in Finnish companies. According to a new study, however, only a few companies are taking advantage of AI's potential in advancing environmental goals. AI could help, for example, with monitoring energy consumption, reducing emissions and making more efficient use of materials.
The study's data show that many companies use AI primarily to improve productivity and develop customer service. Applications related to the environment, on the other hand, are still rare. The reasons cited include, among others, a lack of expertise and the fact that measuring environmental benefits is difficult.
According to experts, the use of AI in environmental work could, however, grow in the coming years if companies receive clearer information about its benefits and practical examples. Finland's goal is to be carbon neutral by 2035, and companies' contribution is central to this.
Based on the study, however, companies should carefully assess how the use of AI affects energy consumption as well, since large AI models require a great deal of electricity.
