Competence Network for
Artificial Intelligence
(CNAI)

Arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) and oth­er new tech­nolo­gies have the poten­tial to fun­da­men­tal­ly change all areas of life includ­ing the Fed­er­al Admin­is­tra­tion itself across all of its divi­sions and lev­els. The use of AI is a key aspect of dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion. With the cre­ation of a Com­pe­tence Net­work for Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence (CNAI), the use of and con­fi­dence in AI and oth­er new tech­nolo­gies is expect­ed to be fos­tered quick­ly and sus­tain­ably both with­in and beyond the Fed­er­al Admin­is­tra­tion. The CNAI also con­tributes to inform­ing the pub­lic. Its project overview enables it to help ensure the trans­paren­cy of ongo­ing AI projects both with­in and out­side the Fed­er­al Administration.

The CNAI serves as an enabler and facil­i­ta­tor. Mutu­al give and take is at the heart of the CNAI, which is why the com­pe­tence net­work has two communities.

Terminology

The intro­duc­tion of a stan­dard­ised ter­mi­nol­o­gy is an impor­tant foun­da­tion for the func­tions of the CNAI. A com­mon lan­guage at the lev­el of the Fed­er­al Admin­is­tra­tion facil­i­tates the active exchange of expe­ri­ence and knowl­edge both with­in and beyond the CNAI network.

Project database

The CNAI main­tains a list of AI-rel­e­vant projects in the Fed­er­al Admin­is­tra­tion to cre­ate an overview of pos­si­ble top­ics and meth­ods and also to facil­i­tate the exchange of expe­ri­ence. The project overview also cre­ates trans­paren­cy about AI projects avail­able in the Fed­er­al Administration.

Community of practice

The com­mu­ni­ty of prac­tice which is open to every­one. In the com­mu­ni­ty of prac­tice, peo­ple inter­est­ed in AI come togeth­er to learn from each oth­er and exchange infor­ma­tion, for exam­ple, about best prac­tices in using AI or shar­ing con­crete project experiences.

Community of expertise

The com­mu­ni­ty of exper­tise is curat­ed by the CNAI unit. The com­mu­ni­ty of exper­tise brings togeth­er experts through­out the Fed­er­al Admin­is­tra­tion with spe­cif­ic tech­ni­cal exper­tise who can be con­sult­ed on con­crete project issues.

In build­ing the com­mu­ni­ties, syn­er­gies will be devel­oped with the exist­ing “Data Sci­ence for Pub­lic Good” com­mu­ni­ty of the Data Sci­ence Com­pe­tence Cen­ter (DSCC) and its pool of experts in the field. The DSCC is there­fore anoth­er impor­tant com­pe­tence hub of the CNAI.
