How Teemu is building a better working world
I firmly believe in technology. AI and other digital technologies are not here to steal our jobs, but they will definitely change the way we do our work. They will enable us to concentrate on what really matters: driving the business, helping the people, and making a better working world.
Technology can also give voice to the people who previously could not make their voice heard. Of course, technological development poses new risks, but when used right, it can enhance democracy, empower people, and build bridges between cultures.
