Promoting Trustworthy AI Innovation for International Organisations

Switzerland supports international organisations in accessing computing power, research and practical applications in the field of artificial intelligence. Through the International Computation and AI Network (ICAIN), hosted at ETH, the FDFA supports the “International Geneva AI Innovation Program (IGAIP)”. This aims to connect the international organisations based in Geneva with research and to develop projects with concrete AI applications, for example in the areas of humanitarian aid, global health, human rights or the environment.
