Launch of SCRAI – Swiss Centre for Responsible AI

What a week at the Zurich AI Festival! We welcomed 80+ participants from diverse sectors at our event “Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice in Responsible AI”. This was an important moment for us: the official launch of SCRAI - Swiss Centre for Responsible AI, a joint initiative by Zurich’s cantonal universities: ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften, Universität Zürich | University of Zurich, ZHdK Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, and Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich, supported by DIZH.
