The case

The cautious approach of Swiss manufacturing companies towards artificial intelligence (AI) adoption is highlighted by a study of ETH Zurich (ETHZ) in collaboration with Swissmem, the association representing the Swiss mechanical and electrical engineering industries. The study surveyed 208 companies and found that a mere 28% have developed a specific strategy for integrating AI into their operations.

The commentary

According to the report, the degree of implementation largely depends on profitability: just under 52% of companies with high profits are considering integrating AI into their processes, while this figure drops to 24% for less profitable companies.
