Digitalisation of the Swiss healthcare system is progressing, but at a rather leisurely pace. Telemedicine, the electronic patient dossier as well as numerous innovative treatment methods and other developments promise not only cost savings but also an improvement in medical care.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a fascinating and transformative technology that is changing our world in many ways. But what exactly is AI? What can it do and what can’t it do? If you want to learn more about Artificial Intelligence, join the Digital Xchange workshop organised by WBK and Dzentrum.

As part of the Swiss Digital Days 2023, the Digital Xchange format offers the public a space for dialogue to discuss the impact of digitalisation on society.

We invite you to raise your questions about the topic of “eGovernment” and discuss the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly evolving digital future. What are your concerns as a private individual or as an entrepreneur with regard to the digital transformation of the administration?

The workshop is organised by the Kanton of Schwyz in collaboration with digitalswitzerland Foundation. No prior knowledge or expertise is required, the event is open to the public and free of charge.

*Event is held in German*

This Digital Xchange format, organised as part of the Swiss Digital Days 2023 will address the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
Sarah Dégallier Rochat shows that humans and machines are categorically different. Where machines excel in pattern recognition, predictions and the processing of large data sets, humans impress with contextual understanding, flexibility and ethical judgement.

The AI apocalypse conjured up in the media is therefore unrealistic: many tasks cannot yet be automated and therefore remain the domain of humans (for the time being).

How AI has affected the labour market so far, why the horror scenarios spread by the media persist and why the foreseeable future – from a scientific point of view – lies in collaboration between humans and machines, we will discuss at the “DigitalXchange: Why machines can’t replace humans (yet)”.

*Event will be held in French and German.*

Focusing on the implications of fast-evolving disruptive digital technologies on education, regulation and economy, the 2023 event will combine a presentation of Switzerland’s positioning in IMD’s World Digital Competitiveness Ranking with expert findings gathered during the Digital Xchange programme carried out by the digitalswitzerland Foundation.

Please join us.

Take part in this exciting webinar with experts from digitalswitzerland’s eGov network, which revolves around digitalswitzerland’s “Res Publica Digitalis” concept.
