A kind of ‘digital concerns barometer’ – The Swiss IGF ‘Call for Issues’ on concern about digital developments in Switzerland

In a kind of ‘digital concerns barometer’, the Swiss IGF has been regularly launching a public call for issues for several years now, showing which digital topics are of most concern to the various stakeholder groups in Switzerland and therefore demand a public discussion.

The most recent implementation from the beginning of 2023 identified the greatest digital challenges at present:

• The use and regulation of artificial intelligence, including in the context of knowledge management and education;
• Protection of fundamental rights in the digital age;
• Trustworthy use and management of data;
• Benefits and power of platforms;
• New opportunities for the exercise of democracy and its protection;
• Responsible use of new technologies;
• Internet governance and the impact of digitalisation on geopolitics.

These topics will be discussed accordingly with all stakeholders at the Swiss IGF 2023.
