Finland to host high-level event on artificial intelligence and international security
Helsinki Roundtable on AI and International Security, an event to be held at Aalto University on 13 March 2025, will bring together international experts, decision-makers and business leaders to discuss the impacts of artificial intelligence on global security.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping societies, economies and international relations. It also has implications for international security and strategic competition. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Aalto University are organising Helsinki Roundtable on AI and International Security to address these challenges and to strengthen cooperation between democratic countries.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen convenes top experts, political figures and business leaders to discuss the role of AI in security policy. The discussions will focus on matters including international security, the competitiveness of democracies, and the research, investments and regulation needed.
“Finland is at the forefront of AI. We have strong and innovative businesses, which through their own example show that human rights and democratic values can be respected in the development of AI. A human-centred approach is part of our high level of competitiveness, and we must increasingly make room for both,” says Foreign Minister Valtonen.
This event is for invited guests and will take place at Aalto University’s building Dipoli, Espoo. The event will be streamed live on the Foreign Ministry’s YouTube channel.
