Delegation: Switzerland

Committee: INTERPOL
Topic: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Society

Esteemed Chair, distinguished delegates,

Switzerland extends a warm welcome to all delegates present today in the INTERPOL
committee. As we delve into the topic of the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society,
Switzerland recognizes the significance of addressing the profound implications of AI in our
modern world.

AI holds the potential to revolutionize industries, economies, and social structures, promising
increased productivity and efficiency. However, it also raises concerns about job displacement
and the need for retraining to mitigate socio-economic disparities.

Furthermore, the proliferation of AI technologies presents challenges regarding data protection

and privacy, with risks of surveillance and misuse of personal data. Ethical considerations
surrounding AI, including algorithmic bias and transparency, are paramount, particularly in
sectors like healthcare and criminal justice.

Despite these challenges, AI offers opportunities to address societal issues, revolutionizing

healthcare, education, and innovation. Switzerland emphasizes the importance of a
responsible AI framework that prioritizes human well-being, equity, and sustainability.

In conclusion, Switzerland calls for collaborative efforts among policymakers, industry

stakeholders, researchers, and civil society to navigate the complexities of AI and shape a
future that maximizes its benefits while minimizing risks.

Thank you.
