How do you feel about “smart city” technologies in Zurich? Hi everyone, I’m a journalist working on an article about smart cities and digital services in Zurich (things like transport apps, online administration, data collection, etc.).

Do you have any concerns about privacy or surveillance? Or do you generally trust how things are handled in Switzerland? Happy to hear any thoughts or examples from daily life. Your can reply here, send me a private message or an email at [email redacted]. Thanks a lot!

Local Sources - AI Surveillance & Privacy in Public Infrastructure

Working on a journalism project about AI & privacy, anyone have stories or thoughts to share? I'm a local student working on a journalism project focused on AI, mass surveillance, and privacy , specifically looking at how quickly AI is being integrated into public infrastructure (OpenAI/pentagon deal, facial recognition, predictive policing, data collection, smart city tech, etc.) and whether our laws and regulations are keeping up with the pace of that change. I think AI can have a lot of benefits but the rollout is happening faster than governments can meaningfully study the risks or put guardrails in place. I'd love for this piece to include a local perspective since I go to college locally. I'd love to hear from anyone who: Has had a personal experience where they felt surveilled or like their data was used in ways they didn't fully consent to Works in a field (law enforcement, healthcare, education, tech, retail) where AI tools are being adopted and has thoughts on the process Has strong opinions — for or against — about how fast AI is moving into everyday life Just has a perspective on privacy in the digital age that they think deserves to be heard If you're open to chatting, feel free to comment or send me a DM. I'm happy to keep things anonymous if you'd prefer, just let me know. This is a student project, so nothing will be published without your knowledge and consent. Thank you all!
