Please don't spread this misinformation. The experiment did not fail. It was not cut short. The experiment was designed to go from the beginning of 2017 to the end of 2018. It will continue as planned and the results will be published as planned in late 2019 or early 2020. At that point and only at that point can we evaluate it as having succeeded or failed. And at that point, Finland will decide what to do next.

Did the Universal Basic Income fail in Finland?
Finland has already decided not to continue it, the project was suspended, they will conclude the project until the date that was originally scheduled, but they will not expand or continue it.
