Responsible AI: A Growth Opportunity for Swiss Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

AI systems are already being used in many areas of healthcare. How can we ensure that AI delivers patient-centered benefits while being used safely, transparently and fairly? A report sets out recommendations for the responsible use of AI in European healthcare.

There are numerous forms of ethical counselling and support within the Swiss healthcare system. Until now, however, there has been no structured and coordinated program for the certification of specialists working in this field. In September, the Swiss Society for Biomedical Ethics (SGBE) published a curriculum and certification model, thereby closing this gap.

The Gottfried and Julia Bangerter-Rhyner Foundation and the SAMS are launching the funding program «Advanced Physician Scientists Grants» to support outstanding mid-career clinicians trained in Switzerland. The program allows them to devote 50 percent of their working time to their research project for two years, alongside their clinical activity.
