AI job risk in Finland
Across 435 occupations covering about 2,313,806 workers, Finland's labour market carries a elevated average exposure to generative AI of 5.1 on a 0–10 scale, weighted by how many people each occupation employs. Every score maps an occupation onto the ILO and OpenAI research indices, so a higher number means more of the role's day-to-day tasks can already be performed or assisted by AI.
The most exposed roles are Accounting and Bookkeeping Clerk, Statistical, Finance and Insurance Clerk, Typists and Word Processing Operators — jobs built around routine information work that large language models handle well. The least exposed include Craft and Related Workers Not Elsewhere Classified, Kitchen Helper, Earthmoving and Related Plant Operator, where physical, in-person or hands-on tasks dominate. By industry, IT & Digital, Business, Finance & Legal sit toward the top of the range. Exposure is not the same as job loss: it flags where AI is most likely to reshape tasks first, and where workers may want to build complementary skills.

Frequently asked questions
How much AI risk do jobs in Finland face?
Across 435 occupations covering about 2,313,806 workers, Finland has an employment-weighted average generative-AI exposure of 5.1 on a 0–10 scale — an elevated level. A higher score means a larger share of a role's day-to-day tasks can already be performed or assisted by AI.
Which jobs in Finland are most at risk from AI?
The most exposed occupations in Finland are Accounting and Bookkeeping Clerk, Statistical, Finance and Insurance Clerk, Typists and Word Processing Operators, Data Entry Clerk, Water and Firewood Collector. These are roles built around routine information work — writing, data handling and analysis — that large language models already handle well.
Which jobs in Finland are least exposed to AI?
The least exposed occupations include Craft and Related Workers Not Elsewhere Classified, Kitchen Helper, Earthmoving and Related Plant Operator. Physical, hands-on and in-person tasks are much harder for current AI to automate, so these roles score low.
Does a high AI exposure score mean the job will be lost?
No. Exposure measures how much of a role's tasks AI can perform or assist with — not whether the job will disappear. A high score flags where AI is most likely to reshape tasks first, and where workers may benefit from building complementary skills.
Which industries in Finland are most exposed to AI?
By employment-weighted average exposure, the most exposed industries in Finland are IT & Digital, Business, Finance & Legal, Government & Public Sector.
How is the AI exposure score calculated?
Every occupation is scored 0–10 by combining two published research datasets — the ILO's Working Paper 140 index and OpenAI's ‘GPTs are GPTs’ task-exposure study — mapped onto Finland's official occupation classification and ranked on a single global percentile scale so scores stay comparable between countries.
Data sources & authority for Finland
Employment (tile area) for Finland comes from Statistics Finland, classified in Classification of Occupations 2010 (ISCO-08). These are official national statistics — the highest-authority source for the country’s labour market. Pay is official occupation-level earnings from the same source, shown where the source publishes it. The AI-exposure score itself is identical in method for every country: the ILO Working Paper 140 index and OpenAI’s GPTs are GPTs study, ranked on a single global percentile scale.
