FCAI is both a research organization with a sharp research and impact agenda and an open ecosystem of researchers, companies, and public organizations gathered around a common goal. FCAI is creating a new type of artificial intelligence that can operate with humans in the real world—and that can help Finnish industry and society to realize its full AI potential. FCAI is an Academy of Finland flagship, which is a status only granted to six centers of excellence of high quality and high societal impact.
