Designing Inclusive & Trustworthy Digital Public Services for Migrants in Finland

The Trust-M project aims to improve the integration of migrants in Finland by devising hybrid and trustworthy digital services based onconversational AI. This can strengthen social cohesion, resilience of the labor market, and economic vibrance in Finnish Society. To thisend, we seek to understand how socially and culturally constructed notions of trust as well as human rights are incorporated in present daydigital public services and perceived among migrant communities. Finnish public services may not always be accessible, inclusive ortrustworthy for all migrants. Using conversational interaction and hybrid service design, Trust-M will explore, create and pilot innovativeAI-assisted services. The City of Espoo, as the main interaction partner, will ensure their practical relevance to migrant services andpromote societal impact.
