Guidelines on using generative artificial intelligence to support and assist work in public administration

The Ministry of Finance’s guidelines on the use of generative artificial intelligence to support and assist work applies to all of public administration. The guidelines were drawn up by an interministerial working group and secretariat on the use of generative artificial intelligence.

In the digital transformation, the focus has recently shifted to technologies leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and the new opportunities they could offer. AI solutions are providing increasingly diverse functionalities that will transform organisations’ operating processes, data processing and interaction. It is evident that AI and other new technological solutions have come to stay, and not only does public administration need to keep informed about the changes reshaping our world, but it also needs to exploit these opportunities safely.

The guidelines aim to encourage the use of generative AI at work and improve the efficiency of public sector. Organisations can supplement the guidelines with their own, more detailed instructions on the use of AI if they wish.

The guidelines are available in Finnish, Swedish and English.
