Switzerland shows pioneering spirit with regard to artificial intelligence
The Starmind Foundation has set itself the goal of promoting artificial intelligence with the "Mindfire" project by cracking the "Human Brain Code". For this purpose, the Swiss project brings together the 100 smartest minds and brain researchers from all over the world.
On 20 November 2017, "Mindfire", a project for artificial intelligence, was presented. The project is extremely ambitious. However, Switzerland is ideally placed to set an important signal for the future in this area. Switzerland is considered to be particularly innovative and has been a world leader for years.
The reasons for this are certainly the good and stable political and economic framework conditions as well as Switzerland's (economic) openness. The latter was an early attraction for innovative entrepreneurs and investors. Switzerland as a location for innovation now has the chance to once again make a mark in the field of artificial intelligence in keeping with its reputation as the "innovation world champion".
artificial intelligence
The creation of artificial intelligence is one of the most challenging technological and social endeavors of our time. Despite decades of research around the world, the creation of a machine that stores knowledge and functions for companies like a brain that knows the answer to every question remains visionary. That is about to change.
The "Mindfire" foundation set up by Starmind wants to bring the 100 smartest people from a wide range of industries and countries to Switzerland with the best-known international brain researchers. They have 14 days to crack the so-called "Human Brain Code". "Mindfire 1" is expected to start in May 2018 and is already supported by many renowned universities, cantons, associations and companies - including ETH Zurich, the Canton of Zurich, UBS, Accenture, Helsana and many more.
