September 29: Think WITH AI, not about it.

The Challenge
The Estonian Paradox
We built one of the world's most advanced digital societies. Yet while we lead in digital infrastructure, we lag in AI readiness.

- Jobs impacted by AI

AI shapes your daily life. Loan decisions. Job screenings. Social media feeds.
These decisions happen in a black box most don't understand.
Many professionals feel unprepared for AI.
By the end of this day, you won't be one of them.
Your Action
AI Black Box
Life Impact
The cost of inaction:
Workers unprepared for AI transformation
Businesses falling for AI washing (average loss: €50K)
Public services missing efficiency gains
Students graduating without essential skills
In advanced economies, ~61% of jobs are exposed to AI. ~75% of knowledge workers already use AI. Estonia cannot afford to be unprepared.
It's not enough to use AI tools created by others. Estonia needs builders who think WITH AI, creating our own solutions rather than depending on foreign tech giants.
The question isn't whether AI will change your work.
It's whether you'll have a say in how.

Why September 29 Matters
Estonia has a unique window to become the world's first AI-literate nation. Our size is our superpower.
Our Impact Timeline
The Estonian Advantage
While larger nations struggle with scale, Estonia's size is our strategic advantage. We've proven it before with:
- X-Road: From idea to national infrastructure in 5 years
- e-Residency: Created a new category of digital citizenship
- Digital ID: 99% adoption in under a decade
Now it's AI's turn. 300 leaders × 100 influenced each = 30,000 AI-literate Estonians in year one.
Be Part of Estonia's AI Transformation
Estonia proved a small nation can lead the world in digital transformation. Now we'll prove the same for AI literacy.
