How does a small country and a new research institute take on the tech giants in AI? Top international talent, academic freedom and boundary-breaking basic research. Along with Finland's commitment 📈 to 4% of GDP for RDI, we have the makings of big impacts in AI and ML research. (More in Finnish 👇)
"Ellis-instituutti on loistava esimerkki yliopistojen, yrityksien ja päättäjien yhteistyön hedelmästä. @samikaski.bsky.social'n mukaan Ellis vie Suomea lähemmäs globaaleja kärkitoimijoita, 'eurooppalaisen tekoälyn ytimeen'."

Jenkeissä (ja muuallakin) tekoälytutkijoita houkutellaan akatemiasta yritysten labroihin valtavilla palkkioilla. Harvardissa ollaan jo huolissaan akateemisesta tutkimuksesta, kun opiskelijoita mukaansa vetävistä tutkijatohtoreista alkaa olla pula. Suomessa yritetään vastata tähän haasteeseen.
