The much-hyped triumph of artificial intelligence (AI) and its influence across multiple sectors continues unabated. Because such applications are trained on immense amounts of data, their development is resource-intensive and requires considerable investments. It is therefore conceivable that only a few global players will come to dominate the field.
This dominance may in turn challenge the digital sovereignty of users, individuals, and companies:
- Since AI solutions are usually provided as an online service, users must be willing to transfer their data to the cloud. This can open doors to access by unauthorized third parties.
- AI solutions can be something of a black box. Opaque processes produce results generated without explanation, and these cannot be validated independently. This lack of transparency may encourage misuse and manipulation.
These represent both challenges and market opportunities for Swiss solution providers: The question is how to Swissify the application of AI while simultaneously sustainably fostering the necessary trust in this future technology.
We want to explore this together in a co-creation workshop, where we will discuss the criteria for the introduction of a Swiss AI label, with the goal of making AI use safe and transparent for Swiss (and possibly international) users.
