I worked as a private daycare entrepreneur for 13 years. That’s where digitization and automation came into use most visibly with the time tracking device for children. The new devices had to be installed and through them it was monitored when the children were brought in and when they were taken out. Children’s care times had to be booked electronically and the ratio of staff to children was monitored using the same system. The 2016 data protection reform also unified the municipalities and private daycare registers. This reform was good and protected the processing of families’ personal data.
In addition, during my work history as a daycare entrepreneur, the service money and purchase service system psop came into being. In the field, the systems in different municipalities had varied. In Kajaani, we took the paper forms to the municipality every month. Through the PSOP system, service money was transferred electronically from the municipality to the company.
Now I am working on the association’s project. We help elderly caregivers. We advise and guide the range of services and provide coaching. Associations have very different ways of utilizing technology. We can do the member register and various registrations for events through Webropol. Our customers are mostly elderly. Their skills in using digital devices are poor. However, we would benefit from different types of remote connections.
Elderly caregivers have seen a big change in society. From the time of the war to this situation, things have changed so radically that not everyone has kept up. Thus, getting a Teams connection in a sparsely populated area is a challenge. They still need face-to-face meetings. The new generation is more skilled at this. In the future, it will be easier to hold training sessions and groups through social media. Marketing is also easier when customers are online.
I asked ChatGpt” “what opportunities associations must use artificial intelligence?”
With the help of artificial intelligence, the association can lighten the practice of associations and help in more efficient operations. Artificial intelligence can help in strategic planning and development. Making various applications and reports, as well as obtaining other information, could be made easier with the help of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence can help in strategic planning and development. Making various applications and reports, as well as obtaining other information, could be made easier with the help of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can also be used in many different ways. By doing routine tasks, improving communication, analyzing data and enhancing decision-making.
“What risks are associated with the use of artificial intelligence for associations?”
“There are several risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence for associations, such as:
Data privacy and security: AI systems often handle large amounts of personal data, increasing the risk of data breaches or misuse, especially if the systems are not properly secured. Ethical issues: The use of AI can lead to biased or discriminatory decision-making if models are trained on skewed or unequal data. Dependence on technology: Associations may become overly reliant on AI, potentially leading to a decline in human skills, and system failures could disrupt operations. Costs: While AI can bring efficiency, its implementation and maintenance can require significant investments, which might be too costly for smaller associations. Lack of transparency: AI systems can be complex and difficult to understand, making it hard to explain decision-making processes to members.
Data security matters should be remembered in everything when we process member data or personal data, e.g. when organizing different tours.
I believe that in the future the use of artificial intelligence will also increase in associations. At the moment, the board members of the associations are elderly and there is no expertise. When more professional people join the association’s activities, the association’s operating methods also develop.
With the help of the videos, I saw how much digitization and technology can be involved in. Looking to the future, only the sky seems to be the limit. I wonder how, for example, drones could be used in sparsely populated areas? I have thought for a long time that there is no substitute for interaction. After reading other people’s articles, watching videos and reading future scenarios about the future of the social and health sector, I realize that there are many opportunities. I also notice that I treat them more gently. Various remote connections make it easier for both the customer and the employee. Videophones, monitoring devices and connections help with communication and care.
Living in a sparsely populated area is a challenge for the service system. Many things have already been developed with the help of technology. Robots that transport food are possible in cities, but what kind of robots should be developed in order to be able to transport food there. People have to move to municipal centers when they give up their driver’s license. Even if they could otherwise live at home. This course brought a variety of ideas about how technology is used already and what kind of possibilities it has in the future.
