Apéro Digital Inaugural Event – Trust Certified? Certification Labels for AI Systems

Can trust be certified? If so, who should be granting it? According to what criteria? Who will be using it? At what cost and with what benefit?

Apéro Digital is launching its first event, in collaboration with the Swiss Digital Initiative (SDI), on the topic Certification Labels for AI Systems. In this event, stakeholders interested in AI certification or currently involved in such efforts will gather to explore certification frameworks, such as Digital Trust Labels, through participatory and co-creation approaches. The event offers a curated space for AI innovators, developers, operators, as well as ethical, legal and regulatory experts to exchange insights and share experiences, and to identify opportunities and challenges for navigating the path forward. Our goal is raising awareness of AI certification methodologies, and empowering the innovation community with enhanced collective understanding. The event will conclude with an exquisite Apéro Riche for community networking.

Come join us to shape a digital future that is trustworthy!

Confirmed speakers include:

• Nicolas Zahn, Managing Director, Swiss Digital Initiative
• Arman Iranfar, Head of AI, CertX
• Kevin Schawinski, CEO and Founder, Modulos AG
