AI for Swiss SMEs: SATW publishes practical guide
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the business world and offers Swiss SMEs numerous opportunities - from process optimization and data-based decision-making to innovative business models. However, many companies are faced with the question: how can AI be used sensibly and profitably?
Only a few Swiss SMEs are still benefiting from AI - because they often lack the necessary expertise or financial resources to get started or develop further. The platform SAIROP (Swiss AI Research Overview Platform) provides companies with insights into Swiss AI research, an overview of services and training opportunities as well as potential partners for the introduction of these new technologies. The clear practical guide "Orientation AI: Challenges and opportunities for Swiss SMEs" uses practical examples to show where Swiss SMEs can use AI and what challenges they need to consider when introducing it. The publication addresses the following topics:
- Practical AI use cases for Swiss SMEs - from automation to predictive maintenance of machines
- Strategies for successful implementation - from the initial idea to scaling up
- Challenges and solutions - from data protection and costs to the shortage of skilled workers
- Funding opportunities and further training offers - support for a successful start in AI
The practical guide was developed by Partners of SAIROP an initiative coordinated by the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences SATW and involving numerous other organizations that support the exchange of knowledge and collaboration between Swiss players in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). SAIROP provides a comprehensive overview of the AI ecosystem in Switzerland and is an official partner of the CNAI - the Competence Network for Artificial Intelligencewhich promotes exchange within the Swiss Federal Administration and beyond.
