The key point: Facing US and Chinese giants, Swiss AI players such as Giotto and Apertus are betting on transparency and sovereignty.
The players
- Giotto: already used by Groupe Mutuel, RUAG and SAP, it now targets the general public.
- Apertus: a model developed in Switzerland, over 6 million downloads in one year.
Claimed strengths
- Trust: full model transparency, according to EPFL’s Martin Jaggi.
- Sovereignty: keep control of AI regardless of foreign providers’ decisions.
Key figures
- Apertus downloads: over 6 million in one year.
In short
Switzerland seeks its place in AI by betting on trust and independence rather than scale.
