On 31 August, more than 350 participants gathered in Olten for the fully booked Swiss Digital Leadership Forum, where artificial intelligence, digitization, marketing, leadership and other aspects of digital transformation were at the heart of discussions.

During the event, Prof. Dr. Bettina Schneider of the Center for Digital Trust FHNW, and Susanne Amrein of the Basler Kantonalbank shared their expertise on AI compliance and delivered a session titled “How can companies use AI tools in a legally secure and responsible way?” The presentation addressed the practical challenges organizations face when integrating AI into their business operations. Such as:

• Pragmatic AI compliance: How companies can approach AI compliance pragmatically and efficiently.
• AI-related risks: Which risks and stumbling blocks often occur in the introduction of AI applications.
• IT and data governance: Why viable IT and data governance forms the basis of any functioning AI governance.
• Data protection and contracts: How requirements from data protection, compliance and contract drafting can be effectively implemented.

The event also provided an opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow digital leaders and experts. A special thanks goes to Prof. Martina Dalla Vecchia, Aldo Gnocchi, Johannes Fenner and the entire organizing team for bringing together a strong community around the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation.

Continuing the conversation

For professionals looking to explore the topic in greater depth, FHNW will soon offer the seminar “AI Compliance & Governance: Use of AI Tools in the Company”, bringing together Susanne Amrein and other experts to examine the practical implications of AI adoption in organizations.
