The DSI Strategy Lab
This position paper was developed as part of a workshop held from August 20 to 22, 2023 on the Weissenstein (near Solothurn) as part of the Strategy Lab of the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) of the University of Zurich (UZH). Beside the authors of the position paper also Christian Busch and Johannes Mure from the State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI) took part in the workshop. Scenarios and recommendations for the use of AI in education, research, and innovation were developed at the workshop. This account of the workshop recommendations was drafted by the authors through a multi-stage process.
As part of the DSI Strategy Lab, a survey of UZH students was developed and conducted with the collaboration of doctoral students from the DSI PhD Excellence Program and other UZH departments. Some of the survey results form part of this position paper.
The recommendations in the position paper are divided into three categories that relate to three areas: “learners,” “teachers,” and “researchers.”
For each category of recommendations, the respective addressees from education policy, administration, universities, and other potential stakeholders are named. The boxes in each category section contain further relevant information. The final editing of the position paper was undertaken by Abraham Bernstein, Markus Christen, and Judit Martinez Moreno. Each year, the DSI Strategy Lab focuses on a specific area of digital transformation and develop conceptual analyses and strategic scenarios for future developments in digital change.
