The global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market size is expected to grow to USD 309.6 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 39.7%. Yves Mulkers recently interviewed Dalith Steiger, covering the state of artificial intelligence, why technology is not needed to have bad intentions, the diversity of music and… high heels! I picked up that you will be speaking at the World AI Conference. Maybe for our audience, can you introduce yourself – what you're doing at SwissCognitive, and maybe something about your background? I feel privileged to be able to talk to you about our topic, AI. This is one of my passions.

A high level of AI innovation is making Switzerland a global leader in tech, talent, and funding. The alpine country of Switzerland -- famous for its luxury watches, delicious chocolate, and fondue -- is also home to a closely knit network of leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) research institutes. Their pragmatic collaboration with industrial players results in the highly efficient transfer of technology to bring innovative products to market quickly. The Digital Switzerland Strategy provides guidelines for government action and indicates where and how authorities, academia, the private sector, civil society, and politics must work together to shape the transformation process for the benefit of everyone. Moreover, the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich and Lausanne (ETH Zurich and EPFL) rank among the world's best technological universities, while the Lugano IDSIA Lab attracts some of the brightest minds in AI development.

Change and advancement are fundamental. Without these, there is no going forward – be that on personal grounds or in business. SwissCognitive, grew out of Switzerland into a World-Leading AI Network connecting AI experts, business leaders, and technology enthusiasts. This global network with over 1/2million followers is driven by the future that is propelled by the smart combination of human and artificial intelligence. With you receiving this newsletter featured with the latest AI cross-industry news, you are already part of this niche, yet global network that is committed to unleashing AI in business to the benefit of all.

AI is much more than a tool or system that can help us to make our processes faster, more accurate and efficient. It is a technology that can turn thousands of years worth of data into valuable information and find answers and solutions to urging global questions. It is man-made intelligence, based purely on human intelligence, that has the potential to transform our and our children's lives for the better. The question is, whether we are doing enough today to advance this technology to its true potentials. The answer is, likely no.
