Abstract
Environmentalism and artificial intelligence (AI) represent two contemporary global megatrends. Environmentalism has various forms, such as prevention of global warming and improvements of circular economy. This chapter specifically delves into the enhancement of the circular economy and explores the potential role of AI within this context, with Finland serving as a case study example. Finland is particularly noteworthy due to its ambitious endeavors in the field of circular economy. Analysis of study is based on the content analysis of the Finnish public circular economy reports, which contain several AI and digital-based solutions. The results show the shortage of open innovation attitudes and knowledge sharing, which slow the use of AI in the Finnish circular economy.
