In a groundbreaking collaboration, the City of Äänekoski and the Northern Central Finland Vocational College (POKE) are embarking on a project that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into municipal operations. This initiative aims to harness AI to enhance various city functions, improve services for residents, and provide POKE students with practical experience in cutting-edge technology.
The partnership focuses on developing AI-driven solutions tailored to the specific needs of Äänekoski. By leveraging AI, the city anticipates improvements in areas such as resource management, public safety, and citizen engagement. For POKE students, this collaboration offers a unique opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, working alongside city officials to implement and refine AI applications.
This initiative not only positions Äänekoski as a forward-thinking municipality but also strengthens the bond between the city and educational institutions like POKE.
