AI transformation in Switzerland: access, responsibility and opportunities for all

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly permeating all areas of our society – from education, to the business world, to public services. But who ensures that everyone in Switzerland has equal access to the opportunities offered by AI transformation?

For a democratic Switzerland, this development represents a significant challenge.
