Although artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up an unimaginable number of new possibilities in all areas of life, it is also creating a raft of challenges. SATW’s Artificial Intelligence priority programme is intended to help Switzerland play a leading role in the development and use of AI. The programme networks key players in AI – particularly researchers – and makes both government and the public aware of the opportunities and challenges associated with AI.
Developing appropriate measures to exploit the opportunities and minimise the risks of AI will require a broad public dialogue in which all societal and economic factors are considered. This is an area where SATW is making an important contribution.

CLAIRE office Switzerland’s collaboration with SATW is crucial for jointly identifying relevant technological developments and expertise in the field of artificial intelligence. Developing the SAIROP platform has enabled us to provide the Swiss and European community with reliable information on this ever-changing field.
