SCALE AI | Canada's AI Global Innovation Cluster’s Post

Europe's AI revolution will differ from other regions and, in some aspects, even turn established hierarchies on their head. Where large tech companies have taken the lead in the US and China, the European revolution is driven by small companies and startups. But will they be able to scale up - this has traditionally been Europe's Achilles heel.   I have just written a series of articles on the state of AI in Europe, based on the upcoming research report on the same topic, for the EU-funded project CitCom.ai TEF – Testing AI and Robotics in Smart Communities   The full report, published tomorrow, reveals how Europe's AI revolution will have its own characteristics. https://lnkd.in/d5PxSr7N #ai #digitaleurope #datagovernance

If you want to become a world-leading AI startup, start in Switzerland according to these successful Swiss founders! 😉🇨🇭 Raffael Kellner, OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences and University of St.Gallen organized a lunch presentation featuring two successful Swiss founders Andreas Brenner and Matthias Heller. They started Lightly.ai and Jua AI. Matthias is part of the US Y Combinator program and is very familiar with the US AI ecosystem. 🇨🇭Both have started their AI companies here in Switzerland. But why Switzerland (and not the US)? 🇨🇭Because Switzerland and in particular Zurich are leading in computer vision, a more mature form of AI 🇨🇭In addition, Switzerland has many computer vision use cases from the Swiss public railway to medicine 🇨🇭 According to Andreas, some of the best AI companies are created in Switzerland! Large language models are currently all the rage. But there different AI technologies such as computer vision.

Where AI is often seen as the domain of tech giants, Switzerland's groundbreaking contributions can't be overlooked. I recently had a fascinating chat with Jost Dubacher, revealing the untold story of Swiss AI prowess. Switzerland, often underestimated in the AI arena, is a silent powerhouse of innovation. With world-renowned experts like Jürgen Schmidhuber and Roland Siegwart, our research is on par with global standards. But our true challenge lies in elevating our business implementation to match our academic excellence. The numbers speak volumes: AI plays a pivotal role in nearly a quarter of Swiss startups. And there is more: 20% of Swiss AI startups are dedicated to evolving AI models and algorithms – showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit seizing the AI opportunity. The future looks bright, with Switzerland poised to become a global AI hub, leveraging its political landscape to create practical and lean regulatory frameworks My dear audience, join me in this eye-opening interview as we uncover the essence and future of Swiss AI. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ezudepAz Startupticker.ch, Stefan Kyora, Switzerland Global Enterprise Corinne Ari, Sirpa Tsimal #SwissAI #AI #SwissInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #Switzerland #WhySwitzerland #Startups

🦄 🦄 🦄 We're greeting the weekend with a spotlight on 4 AI companies from China: Zhipu AI, Moonshot AI, MiniMax, and 01.ai - who have recently joined the unicorn club. The domestic backing (Alibaba being the main investor) tells us that China is serious about cultivating its own generative AI industry, and why wouldn't they? While the US still holds an edge in terms of technological advancement, China's rapid development and growing domestic market definitely set the stage for an exciting race in generative AI. In addition to these 4, over 260 Chinese companies are trying to become the leading force in generative AI, inspired by the success of OpenAI and Anthropic. What are your thoughts on this development? Let's discuss in the comments! #GenerativeAI #AI #Startups
