SwissCognitive Team – “Why AI Needs Global Collaboration – Call for Nomination”

Every morning, as we open our news feeds, we encounter the latest breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence. New LLM models, emerging startups, record-breaking AI investments, and novel applications that push the boundaries of what’s possible. The competition among tech giants like OpenAI, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nividia etc., alongside rising startups, has never been more intense, accelerating AI development at an unprecedented scale.

Here are just a few highlights from the past weeks:

• DeepSeek’s energy-efficient AI model triggered a significant shift in AI investments, causing stock declines, tech sell-offs, and a reevaluation of costly AI development strategies.
• xAI, Elon Musk’s AI venture, launched Grok-3, a model with over ten times the computing power of its predecessor.
• The New York Times is integrating AI tools into its newsroom for editing, summarizing, and writing tasks.
• The European Union announced a €50 billion investment to boost AI development and adoption across industries.
• Anthropic secured $6 billion in investments from Amazon and Google.
• Google unveiled an AI-powered “co-scientist” designed to accelerate biomedical research.

And this is just a small, randomly selected fraction of the developments in the field of AI that’s been happening globally since the beginning of the year.

The Critical Role of Collaboration in AI Development

With such high-speed advancements and large-scale AI adoption, our greatest responsibility is ensuring these developments serve humanity and society as a whole. Artificial Intelligence must be shaped through transparent communication, collaboration, and collective responsibility.

SwissCognitive has been committed to this mission since 2016, acting as a global AI facilitator—bridging knowledge gaps, fostering responsible AI adoption, and ensuring AI reaches its full potential as an economic booster.

One of our key initiatives to support this vision is the Global AI Ambassador Program, where AI leaders unite to spread knowledge and collaborate for the ethical, responsible, and transparent development of Artificial Intelligence.

Global AI Ambassador Program 2025 – A New Era of Collaboration

The Global AI Ambassador Program 2025 by SwissCognitive is designed to bring together  leading AI professionals across industries—fostering knowledge exchange, cross-sector innovation, and responsible AI governance.

This year, we are expanding the program on a larger scale than ever before. For the first time, we are introducing a peer-nominated selection process — ensuring that the most brilliant minds in AI are recognized and empowered to drive positive change.

Call for Nominations

Nominations are officially open until 28th of March 2025.
Unlike previous years, we have moved from self-nomination to a peer-nomination process, requiring two sponsors to nominate an AI expert.

We believe in the power of collaboration—because impactful AI leadership is stronger if we use our collective intelligence to shape the future together.

You can find all details, nomination criteria, and the application form at the link below.

“Ultimately, the global AI race will be won not by any one region alone, but through collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and a commitment to the responsible development and deployment of AI for the benefit of all.”
