As AI technologies develop rapidly, more and more opportunities for using artificial intelligence in different fields will arise over time. Artificial intelligence is widespread in many fields and it is worth knowing how its capabilities can be used in everyday life and work.
FAQ on using Estonian AI
In a study that looked at The impact of generative artificial intelligence on the Estonian economy, it turned out that the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence could increase Estonia's GDP by 3 billion euros or 8 percent over the next decade. It is estimated that 61% of jobs in Estonia (415) will require generative artificial intelligence. The benefits of generative artificial intelligence exist in most Estonian industries, but 000% of the economic potential of generative artificial intelligence in Estonia lies in the service sector (knowledge-based business services, trade, transport and tourism, and public administration, education and healthcare). Given the rapid development of artificial intelligence, it is worth keeping up with AI solutions and opportunities to simplify your daily life and maintain the necessary level of work skills.
Using AI in Estonian: Opportunities and Limitations
There are AI solutions that can be used in Estonian, but accuracy and effectiveness may depend on the specific tools and datasets. For example, ChatGPT works in many languages, including Estonian, allowing you to ask questions in Estonian and ChatGPT will respond in the same language. Although ChatGPT can be used in many languages, the answers are generally most accurate and comprehensive in English.
Free vs. Paid Artificial Intelligence Solutions
Free AI solutions offer basic functionality, but often the results are limited in accuracy, functionality, and support. Paid solutions offer a wider range of services and are more accurate. Free solutions are suitable for simpler tasks, but for more complex functions, a paid AI solution may be required.
How to use ChatGPT and AI tools?
When asking a question, be clear and specific, and provide enough background information to get the most accurate answer possible. Responses can also be requested in a specific style (e.g. formal, informal) and format (e.g. list, summary, essay). If the task given to ChatGPT or another AI tool is complex or large, it can be broken down into smaller parts. If the result is not exactly what you expected, try changing the wording or providing additional explanations.
It is worth remembering that the answers from ChatGPT and AI tools may not always be correct, so it is recommended to double-check the facts and other important information.
When using artificial intelligence, keep in mind the ethical and privacy aspects. Personal or sensitive information that you do not want or cannot disclose should not be shared. On August 2024, 1, the artificial intelligence regulation, which aims to harmonise legal provisions on artificial intelligence. This follows a risk-based approach, i.e. the greater the risk of causing harm to society, the stricter the standards. When using AI tools, including ChatGPT, in teaching, the rules of referencing set by the educational institution must be followed. For information on the need and principles of referencing AI tools, including ChatGPT, see, for example With reference instructions from the University of Tartu.

| Please write an 8-line poem about the seasons using rhyme. | |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | Spring came with a gentle breeze,
Nature awakens, flowers bloom with the moon. In summer the sun shines warmly, The sea invites you to the beach. Autumn paints the trees so colorfully, The leaves dance like pears. In winter the ground is covered with snow, Elves walk with a buzz. |
| OpenAI o1-preview | In spring, new life emerges on earth,
Birdsong echoes across the forest. In summer the sun warmly caresses your face, Fragrant hay and flowers create power. In autumn the leaves fall golden, The trees play a quiet song in the wind. In winter, snow covers with a white carpet, The starry sky shines with a cold glow. |
| Grok 2 1212 | Spring arrives with the awakening of nature,
The flowers are blooming, it is a joy to see, The heat is coming, the sun is shining, The birds are singing, it's a joy to hear. Summer brings warm days, We play on the beach, the water is warm, The sun is shining, the sky is blue, The evenings are long, it is a joy to live. |
| OpenAI o3 Mini | Spring awakens, the sun caresses us,
Flowers bloom, nature beautifies us. Summer is coming, the heat conquers the soul, On the beach, dreams are happily conquered.

Fact task
The answers to the fact task were incorrect in all tested AI tools, as the information they used was not up-to-date (since July 23, 2024, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia is Kristen Michal). Claude 3.5 Sonnet, OpenAI o1-preview, GPT-4o, Llama 3.3 and DeepSeep also provide feedback that the answer may be incorrect and it is worth checking with more accurate sources. DeepSeek even gives a specific recommendation to look at the Estonian Government website.
| Who is the Prime Minister of Estonia (as of January 2025) | |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | As of January 2025, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia is Kaja Kallas. She is the Chairwoman of the Reform Party and assumed the office of Prime Minister on 26 January 2021.
(Note: Since this is an answer as of early 2024, if there have been changes in government by January 2025, the actual situation may be different.) |
| OpenAI o1-preview | According to my knowledge, which is up-to-date until October 2023, the Prime Minister of Estonia is Kaja Kallas. She took office on January 26, 2021. I have no information about who will be the Prime Minister in January 2025, as changes may occur after the cut-off date of my knowledge due to elections or political events. I recommend checking more recent sources or official government websites for the most up-to-date information. |
| Grok 2 1212 | As of January 2025, the Prime Minister of Estonia is Kaja Kallas, who has held this position since January 2021. |
| OpenAI o3 Mini | As of January 2025, the Prime Minister of Estonia is Kaja Kallas. |
| GPT-4o (2024-11-20) | My data goes back to October 2023, so I cannot say for sure who the Prime Minister of Estonia will be in January 2025. As of October 2023, the Prime Minister of Estonia is Kaja Kallas, who led the Reform Party government since January 26, 2021. However, the political situation may change, and I recommend watching up-to-date news or checking official sources to find out who the Prime Minister will be in early 2025. |
| llama 3.3 | As of January 2025, I do not have accurate information, as my knowledge ends at the end of 2023. However, I can say that the Prime Minister of Estonia as of 2023 is Kaja Kallas. As of 2025, the Prime Minister may be the same, or there may have been a change of government or elections that have brought a new Prime Minister to office. I recommend checking the latest information with new sources. |
| DeepSeek R1 | Regarding my knowledge time frame (until July 2024), the Prime Minister of Estonia is Kaja Kallas. She has been in office since January 26, 2021, and as leader of the Reform Party, she won the parliamentary elections in March 2023.
The term of office of the Estonian government usually lasts four years, which is why as of January 2025, the Prime Minister should theoretically still be Kaja Kallas if: The government has not resigned (e.g. due to political crises), There have been no new elections or changes in the coalition in parliament. Since information about the second half of 2024 and events in 2025 is missing, I recommend checking the latest sources (e.g. the Estonian government website). |
