The Nordics have been repeatedly recognized for their excellent education system. But education doesn't stop when you enter the workforce. What are some of the best practices to continually build the skills for our fast-changing world and remain innovative? For this episode, I am joined by Janina Fagerlund, the former head of product for Elements of AI, a free online course developed by the consultancy Reaktor and the University of Helsinki. While the course aimed at educating 1 percent of the Finnish population (about 55.000 people) about the basics of artificial intelligence it has already had over 550.000 participants. Janina shares her insights starting from the story behind the course to how it can empower innovation.
