AI for the Benefit of Society
“The progress made within the AI ecosystem over the past few months alone has been phenomenal", comments PD Dr. Alexander Ilic, Founder and Executive Director of ETH AI Center: "We are on the cusp of a technological revolution, the likes of which have not been seen since the internet, and as such it is imperative that the right foundations are laid to allow AI to flourish safely, responsibly, and with purpose. We want Switzerland to be a leader in these conversations."
“We want to help create a Generative AI that is good for society", adds Martin Vetterli, President at EPFL. "The AI House in Davos allows top researchers in the field to meet industry leaders, NGO, government officials, etc. We can develop a common vision and make sure such an exciting technological innovation as Generative AI is used for good."
“Switzerland is a global leader in AI research", emphasizes Ambassador Benedikt Wechsler, Head of Division for Digitalisation at State Secretariat Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (Switzerland): "Discussions on governance formats have intensified worldwide in recent months. International Geneva is well positioned to play an important role in this issue with its broad ecosystems of international standardization organizations, important UN organizations. But without the tech companies driving the AI revolution and the scientific expertise, such considerations are mostly unrealistic. This is why Swiss diplomacy is using the AI House at WEF 2024 as an important platform for discussion.”
