Tuukka believes that data-driven decision-making is the way forward, but he also recognises the responsibilities that come with it. His academic background reflects this mindset, with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and an almost-completed Master’s degree in Social Data Science. This combination gives Tuukka a strong grasp of practical approaches to technology, as well as a broader understanding of how these approaches can impact the world around us.

Tuukka’s thesis topics have touched the role of ethics education in applying ethics to Artificial Intelligence and the opinions of the technological elite toward policies. These topics align with his core passions: Embracing technological advancements while understanding the risks, and making sure everyone can equally and safely enjoy the benefits they bring to our lives.

When he’s not busy with his work or studies, Tuukka enjoys bikepacking adventures that take him off the beaten path and rock climbing. If the weather takes a turn, he’s just as happy experimenting with flavours in the warmth of his kitchen or slowing things down with a good book.
