Tiina Härkönen

I work as a leading specialist in the Democracy Innovations Programme, within the Democracy Technology Team. I explore the potential of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and democracy technology solutions, to enhance people’s participation and further develop Finnish democracy. I examine technological trends, phenomena, and actors that influence democracy.

I have over 30 years of experience in business development, particularly in the field of software technology, which I actively follow. I am motivated by the development of the social responsibility of technologies and their harnessing to serve people and society.

I am happy to be contacted regarding matters related to data utilisation, democracy technologies (e.g., Polis), alternative social media, and sustainable artificial intelligence.
