Our Stories

“Replacements are always costly – that’s not an argument against open source”

Open-source alternatives // How dependent is Switzerland on global tech giants? A discussion on dependencies, and concrete alternatives with Pascal Stöckli, Project Lead for Digital Sovereignty and co-initiator of the “SDS Network – Sovereign Digital Switzerland” at the Institute for Public Sector Transformation at Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH).

On-premises AI: more control, but at a cost

Open AI models have caught up with commercial models. This is prompting many companies to ask whether they could run AI in-house. It would allow them to use their own data—and they would no longer be dependent on U.S. or Chinese providers. But what hardware, technical expertise, and budget are required for on-premises hosting?

The FOITT’s approach to strengthening digital sovereignty – the realistic way

Sovereignty in the Swiss federal administration // The Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) is driving the digital transformation in Switzerland. This also means considering the question of digital sovereignty. But how can such a small country realistically strengthen its digital sovereignty? Here we outline the FOITT’s pragmatic approach.

“With Apertus, we offer a high-performance alternative to U.S. and Chinese providers”

Transparent LLMs // Open-source models are catching up. But can they truly rival commercial providers like OpenAI and Google while offering full transparency? Martin Jaggi of EPFL wants to prove this with Apertus.

How sovereign is the cloud really, AWS and Microsoft?

Hyperscaler // The cloud, and consequently hyperscalers, are key factors in determining digital sovereignty. We talked to AWS and Microsoft about control, the Cloud Act, exit strategies, and just how sovereign global cloud platforms can be.

Cognitive debt: when AI writes faster than we can understand

AI now generates code in minutes, but understanding takes as long as it ever did. In exactly this gap, a silent debt is growing: cognitive debt. Drawing on hands-on experience, this article shows how teams can contain this risk in their day-to-day work through dialogue and clear responsibility instead of blind trust.

Benjamin Bachmann - Jul 24, 2026

How companies can reduce dependencies while remaining economically viable

For companies and public administrations, digital sovereignty is increasingly becoming a strategic and economic issue: How can technological dependencies be reduced, risks controlled, and innovation and efficiency maintained at the same time? One thing is clear: the goal is not maximum independence, but the ability to make deliberate and economically sound decisions.

“If you opt for on-prem technology, you assume full responsibility for security”

Guardrails, prompt injection, and the AI Banking Assistant: Joel Akeret, Machine Learning Architect at ti&m, talks about the risks of AI in banking and why relying on a single security filter is not as safe as it may seem.

AI in software development – between euphoria and reality

Code meets AI // Generative AI has taken the software industry by storm. New models with record benchmarks appear every day, and promises of efficiency dominate the debate. While the technology is undoubtedly transformative, though, in the enterprise environment there is often a wide gap between expectations and reality. We take a critical look at three key misconceptions – and what companies really need to know.

“We need more courage in AI projects”

AI made in Lucerne // While tech giants are pumping billions into AI infrastructure, the Applied AI Center of the Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is taking a different approach: Donnacha Daly, one of the Center’s co-founders, explains why open source could save our digital independence and why, paradoxically, the future of AI lies in smaller models.

Digitalization of social insurance requires a federal approach

Digitalization of social insurance // Applications and decisions should be submitted, processed and communicated more easily, more quickly and more securely – without concentrating power and data. This requires a federal implementation based on shared rules and open standards. Ultimately, this also serves a broader goal: to create a clear and understandable pension overview across all three pillars for all insured persons.
