“Artificial Intelligence” in Switzerland 2024: Rapid Diffusion and Increasing Digital Inequality

Anhaltende Erschöpfung, Atemnot, Konzentrationsprobleme, Ängste oder gedrückte Stimmung: Viele Menschen leiden noch Monate nach einer Corona-Infektion unter Beschwerden, die ihren Alltag deutlich einschränken. Doch belastbare Daten, welche Behandlung wirklich hilft, sind nach wie vor rar.

La justice internationale est à la croisée des chemins.
Les États-Unis viennent d’imposer des sanctions à la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) en tant qu’institution. Au même moment, le prix Nobel de la paix 2026 distingue Navi Pillay, ancienne juge de la CPI, et le Parlement européen attribue le prix Sakharov 2026 à la Cour et à ses représentants. Un contraste saisissant : la justice internationale reçoit des marques de reconnaissance majeures alors que son indépendance est directement menacée.

How can governments turn commitments to participation, innovation and reform into improvements that citizens experience in their everyday lives?
This question connected several discussions that interested Dr Monique Bennett, Policy Dialogue Manager at Policy Innovation Lab, during a recent OECD forum.

Thando Ndita from Stellenbosch University’s Policy Innovation Lab was invited to participate in the Gates Foundation’s Goalkeepers New York programme in September 2026 as a funded attendee. The programme brought together individuals working across AI, digital transformation, public health and development, providing an opportunity to build relationships with people doing similar or related work across Africa.

As Europe prepares to showcase 91 AI pilots at the upcoming EUSAiR closing event, one major question remains: where do national AI regulatory sandboxes actually stand under the EU AI Act? To find out, I examined publicly available records and national authority data across Europe. Here is what the landscape looks like today.

Which European countries have operational AI sandboxes?
