From the government funded media outlet, Swiss Info:
Several government ministries in Switzerland are investigating whether online manipulation could affect upcoming elections, says a newspaper report. The Federal Office of Communications external link has set up a government working group to look into the effects of artificial intelligence on the media and public opinion, writes the NZZ am Sonntag paper.
This group was set up last September and is headed by the education and research ministry, spokesman Francis Meier told the paper. Last October Swiss intelligence chief Jean-Philippe Gaudin also warned that foreign actors could try to influence the next national elections through online artificial intelligence, saying he would propose appropriate measures to the government.
