Swiss universities differ very much in terms of AI-strategies. We want to ensure at least basic AI-education as a part of university education.

Issue?

Over the past two years, Swiss universities have pursued very different AI-strategies. Some have completely ignored the topic, whilst others have already implemented research hubs.

Solution?

Harmonise AI-standard among universities. All institutions  should start to  offer courses connecting AI to different fields of research. This should guarantee to equip every student from the bachelors level on, with basic knowledge on AI and its possible applications. This should lead to a bigger interest and awareness of the technology, and enable future employees/founders/researchers etc. to use AI for good in their very own field of interest.

Who should act? 
Universities should take their responsibilities now and acknowledge the importance of AI-education.
