Tutke promotes safe artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence has advanced extremely rapidly in recent years. Today, AI can solve some of the world’s most difficult mathematical problems and autonomously discover security vulnerabilities that have remained undetected for decades.

Leading AI companies aim to develop artificial superintelligence: a system that is superhuman in virtually all domains. No one can predict future progress with certainty, but it is possible that superintelligence will be created within the next few years. Once AI reaches human-level capabilities in AI research, progress could accelerate even further through recursive self-improvement, becoming extremely rapid and difficult to predict.

This development brings many opportunities, but also serious risks. At worst, we humans could lose control of our own future. AI can also be used for harmful purposes, such as cyberattacks or the development of biological weapons. AI could also lead to an extreme concentration of power and undermine international stability.

Tutke works to strengthen Finland's preparedness for these risks. Technical safety research, proactive governance, and international cooperation help ensure that the benefits of AI can be harnessed safely.
