For the fifth consecutive year, the SWISSCAM Innovation Committee held the Swiss Innovation Day, which this year addressed:
“Cutting-edge Applications of AI”
Artificial Intelligence continues to shake up the business world and our lives. On the one hand, there is the race between tech giants for the best, fastest and most efficient AI. On the other hand, companies and professionals are rushing to learn about the subject so as not to miss out on opportunities for efficiency gains and innovation.
At this ‘V Swiss Innovation Day,’ this was the topic on the agenda at all levels of society and one that should guide most business decisions. We learned about innovative and cutting-edge solutions for using AI in organisations and had a debate about them and what is yet to come.
