+ Can Switzerland steer a safe course to AI innovation?
The “SynerKI” project will in future coordinate the canton’s AI activities across all departments in order to make the best possible use of existing expertise, the press release adds.
A new service platform will form the technical basis for the development and operation of secure AI solutions within the cantonal administration.
The cantonal government says this will enable AI to be used in day-to-day work, even when handling sensitive data.
