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

Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is increasingly positioned as a foundation for expanding access to public services, strengthening state capacity, and enabling more inclusive digital societies. As governments and philanthropic leaders around the world invest in digital identity systems, data exchange layers, and digital payments, a central question continues to surface: how is trust built, sustained, and experienced in practice?

Seit dem 6. Februar 2026 laufen die Olympischen Winterspiele Milano Cortina, tausende Athletinnen und Athleten messen sich dort in 16 Disziplinen. Geht es nach der neuen Präsidentin des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees (IOK), Kirsty Coventry, so sollen sich diese und zukünftige Spiele auf ihren Kern konzentrieren – und das sei der Sport; nicht etwa die Politik. Doch wie realistisch ist so eine strikte Trennung überhaupt?  

India hosting the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi has led to significant  global attention. As the first Global South country to host the Summit — following editions in the UK, France, and South Korea — India’s leadership marks a pivotal time in conversations around AI governance as the world recognises the growing importance […]

Europe’s Digital Identity Wallet: The Promise, the Problems, and the Questions We’re Not Asking

By Sharmin Chougule

05 February 2026

The EUDI Wallet is coming to Europe by 2026. But while a universal digital identity sounds laudable, the tight schedule and complex architecture suggest a deeper tension. We are at a critical juncture: Is this a foundation for trust, or the quiet assembly of a surveillance apparatus?

Wie genau unkonventionelle Supraleitung entsteht, zählt zu den zentralen Fragen der modernen Festkörperphysik. Eine neue Studie, die in der Fachzeitschrift Nature erschienen ist, liefert hierzu entscheidende Hinweise.
Ein internationales Forschungsteam konnte erstmals eine direkte mikroskopische Verbindung zwischen einem stark korrelierten Normalzustand und der Supraleitung in sogenannten Moiré-Materialien nachweisen. Langfristig können diese Erkenntnisse dazu beitragen, gezielt neue Quantenmaterialien und Supraleiter für künftige Quantentechnologien zu entwickeln.

GENEVA / BARCELONA — As artificial intelligence and digital transformation reshape the global public sector, academic institutions are facing a critical bottleneck: a lack of specialized curricula to train the next generation of public leaders.

“Our research shows that many public policy programs in the US and Europe are failing to prepare their students for a career in a modern, digital-era public sector,” says Pontus Westerberg, Executive Director of Teaching Public Service in the Digital Age.

Drawing on two decades of experience in building and supporting open digital infrastructure, we provide observations and recommendations to advance the EU’s strategic approach to open source, emphasizing its role in enhancing technological sovereignty, security, and competitiveness.
