Artificial Intelligence: Switzerland Will Contribute to International AI Guidelines
Artificial intelligence is viewed as a vital technological breakthrough with geopolitical ramifications by the international community. The report 'Artificial Intelligence and International Rules' was taken into consideration by the Federal Council. The study outlines several steps that Switzerland might take to help shape and contribute to an appropriate global set of AI standards.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential and is seen as a critical technology with geopolitical ramifications. AI also poses significant concerns about core principles, namely the human-machine interaction. As a result, serious legal issues arise, such as the traceability of choices, unfairness, spying, and exploitation.
The research looks at a variety of regulatory methods in the field of growing global AI regulations. The necessity for a new set of comprehensive AI rules has received less attention in Switzerland than in other nations. Switzerland has the authority to determine its own AI legislative priorities. Simultaneously, it's critical to guarantee that international standards make it easier for Switzerland to access global AI markets and supply networks.
Switzerland has unique capabilities in research and development, economic power, and international legal credibility. As a result, it is well-positioned to contribute to the shaping of the new global AI regulatory framework following its interests and principles.
There are ongoing arguments taking place in a variety of global forums about how to manage AI. However, most of these discussions are still in their infancy.
Nonetheless, at five levels, a global set of AI rules are now developing. This includes the following:
- Soft law
- International law
- The normative force of the factual is fueled by technological advancements.
- State enactments with international effect
- Self-binding corporate technical standards and regulations
Switzerland must be actively involved to reap the benefits of its advantageous location.
The Federal Council has decided to take some action. In its bid to have the AI technology regulated, Switzerland has stepped up its contacts with technical and legal experts, including foreign experts.
Switzerland's viewpoints on AI will be consistently reflected in international bodies, and exchanges with Geneva-based international standards organizations will be encouraged. These steps will also help to boost Geneva's reputation as a global center for digital challenges.
