Mission

Artificial intelligence will ultimately create highly autonomous systems which are already changing the way we work, interact and ultimately live. BCA’s mission is to ensurethat AI will benefit the whole society, not just a select few. We will work towards building open technology platforms to support distributed artificial intelligence marketplaces.
We will empower innovators, data scientists, and developers collaborating to build and trade value, while creating safe, robust, and beneficial AI aligned with societal goals. BCA, is established as a Swiss non-profit association and pursues the following non-commercial goals.

Goals

Increasing knowledge and understanding of the distributed artificial intelligence systems development across governments, universities, startups, SMEs, and industry
Develop an open platform technology and infrastructure for a distributed artificial intelligence marketplace.
Promoting research into decentralized and distributed artificial intelligence from cloud to edge devices.
Foster the adoption of trustworthy AI within industry.

Our Activities

Build
