The real fuel for AI – why data makes all the difference

Artificial intelligence promises efficiency gains and new business opportunities. However, for SMEs, success is not primarily determined by the AI tool used, but by the quality, availability and usability of the existing data. A reliable data foundation is essential for AI and data-driven applications to create genuine business value.

Responsible AI: from principle to practice

There are plenty of frameworks and guidelines for ethical AI - but how do you put them into practice? Four Swiss practical examples show how to make the step from theory to everyday life.
