Data science and artificial intelligence for the public good

The Federal Statistical Office (FSO) is joining forces with the Swiss Data Science Center, a joint venture between the two federal institutes of technology, to encourage the use of data science and artificial intelligence within the administration. As society becomes more digitalized, institutions need more and more data science skills. This includes the integration of tools arising from artificial intelligence in a way that is safe and beneficial to society as a whole. To this end, as a pioneer within the federal administration, the FSO is teaming up with the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC), a joint venture between the two federal institutes of technology. "I am extremely enthusiastic about this strategic partnership in a joint flagship project between our two institutes and the FSO," said Martin Vetterli, President of the EPFL.
