Digital sovereignty:
Panel discussion with Matthias Stürmer and Christian Laux
Control is the central concept in connection with digital sovereignty. When are companies or public authorities themselves responsible for this control in the digital sphere - and in which situations does the state come into play?
The Swiss Data Alliance has proposed a review model in its publications on digital sovereignty. According to this model, the state is responsible if digital processes have an impact on Swiss territory and Switzerland as a state is institutionally affected. What goes beyond this is a matter for the individual day-to-day organization of companies and official bodies.
E-ID, Swiss Government Cloud, regulation of AI: how should these projects be assessed from the perspective of digital sovereignty?
Geopolitical situation: What challenges are we facing in the digital world and how should the state respond?
Signs for the future: In which areas of digitalization should Switzerland launch lighthouse projects?
