According to Prime Minister Kristen Michal, the aim is to make Estonia one of the world’s leading implementers of artificial intelligence.
“Doctors, teachers, accountants, human resources specialists, musicians, translators, and many others will have more time to devote to meaningful work, learning, and interacting with people when they use artificial intelligence. Less time is spent searching for information, on paperwork, and on routine tasks. This also means more personal and family time,” said Michal.
