An interdepartmental working group on artificial intelligence was commissioned by the Federal Council to analyse the challenges of artificial intelligence and any need for action on the part of the federal government. A report acknowledged by the Federal Council in December 2019 shows that Switzerland is generally well positioned for the application and challenges of artificial intelligence. However, there is a need for action to varying degrees in different areas. This has been recognised and is largely already being addressed.
