The general conditions for the transparent and responsible application of artificial intelligence are optimised
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the economy and society. Nationally and internationally, Switzerland should commit to monitoring and assessing the ensuing consequences for our private and working lives and to consider the developments at the international and in particular also at the European level. In Switzerland, the basic conditions must be shaped in such a way that, where advisable, algorithmic decision-making systems are transparent and verifiable, that responsibilities are regulated and that the systems in use respect social values and the legislation. The measures launched for this purpose within the framework of the existing competencies and authority of the Confederation will be continued.
