Description
We prevent mis- and disinformation through expertise and reliable information. • Together with OECD countries, we work to improve data sharing and develop the data and analysis base so that mis- and disinformation can be prevented and combated as effectively as possible through cooperation between different actors in society. Reliable information is vital for trust and democracy. • Practices for opening up data must be developed at all times, and we must prepare for emergencies in normal conditions. We will organize intersectoral discussions on the importance of opening up data in exceptional situations. We will collect best practices on how to combine the exceptional security situation and the appropriate opening of data. • We will promote the opening up of public sector purchase invoice data in municipalities and wellbeing services counties. • We will organize workshops open to the entire public administration and ensure through communication that all public administration actors are able to act in accordance with the Ministry of Finance’s ethical guidelines on artificial intelligence.
