Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform (SAIROP) launched
A little over a year ago, the SAIROP partners announced their intention to jointly develop a Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview. Now the time has finally come: SAIROP - the Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform - went live on June 23, 2022.
Switzerland has several internationally leading research institutions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) spread throughout the country. Independently of this, the importance and use of AI as an enabling technology is steadily increasing in more and more research fields and application areas. For the first time, the Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform SAIROP now presents a detailed overview of AI competencies in Switzerland's dispersed research landscape.
High level of detail
For this purpose, the ten partner organizations involved surveyed the various research institutions in Switzerland and compiled information on current research projects from various publicly accessible data sources. Data preparation and curation is time-consuming due to the great diversity. However, thanks to the new platform, the information is more accessible and the level of detail is probably unique in Europe.
SAIROP: Online since June 23, 2022
The Platform is online and was presented to an audience of industry representatives and researchers on June 23 at the Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS2022) in the KKL Luzern. Data on research institutions, current projects with a start year of 2021 and experts conducting research on and with AI in Switzerland are currently presented. The data is continuously supplemented and updated. In addition, the platform will be enriched with further relevant information in the future to provide an even better overview of the research field and its impact on society.
Improve visibility of Swiss AI partners
In the longer term, SAIROP is intended to network the AI research community even more closely, improve the visibility of Swiss AI research partners, and offer local as well as international companies and research institutions new access for initiating innovation projects. Dedicated events and further communication measures are planned for this purpose.
