Practical AI Agency for Circular Economy Sectors – CirculAI aims to integrate artificial intelligence into circular economy processes, enhance the skills of circular economy sector actors, and develop new innovative working methods with the help of AI. The project particularly focuses on employees of micro and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the circular economy sector, offering them training tailored to their needs on utilizing AI. The key objectives of the project are to strengthen AI agency in the workplace, improve AI literacy, and enhance circular economy processes through AI. The project emphasizes AI literacy and its importance in enabling AI agency. AI agency means practical skills and understanding of how AI solutions can add value to organizational processes, improving efficiency and productivity. It also considers organizational needs and focuses on the purposeful application of AI. Additionally, AI agency involves psychological safety, where humans control AI and feel empowered by learning new skills. A sustainable knowledge base, or AI literacy, is essential for broader AI application. The project creates safe emotional spaces for developing AI skills and creativity in circular economy companies. The training sessions and the network formed during the project provide company staff with opportunities to experiment, fail, and learn different ways to use AI in their work. Skills development also occurs through sharing good case examples. The goal is to strengthen employees' self-efficacy, job satisfaction, and success experiences, as well as to develop AI professional skills. Professionally facilitated training sessions foster team spirit and unity between management and employees in new ways, enabling longer and more sustainable careers. The project's impact is measured using QWL (Quality of Work Life) assessments at the beginning, middle, and end of the project. The project involves three implementers. Sykli's main responsibility is coordinating the project and its communication; Sykli also produces a communal online course, a final webinar, and recommendations for the industry on using AI. The Finnish eLearning Centre's main responsibility is to map the target group's needs, assemble best practices, and formulate training programs from them, as well as to compile a network of industry expertise and facilitate its operation. Otavia trains companies starting from their needs and brings a future-oriented approach to the development of their AI skills. The project is designed as a consortium project because it allows for the combination of broad expertise and resources, which accelerates the development and application of innovations. This group model also promotes the exchange of knowledge and best AI practices among participating parties. In terms of schedule, the project is divided into different work packages, covering all aspects of the project from needs assessment to dissemination of results through a final webinar and impact evaluation. The project duration is 30 months, starting in the fall of 2025 and ending in the spring of 2028. This schedule allows for thorough implementation and monitoring of results. As a result of the project, significant progress is expected in the AI competence of circular economy sector businesses, thereby enhancing their competitiveness and innovativeness. The tools and methods developed through the project will be widely usable and will be disseminated across the industry effectively according to the project's communication strategy.
