Wahrung des Anwalts geheimnisses bei KI-gestützten internen Untersuchungen

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird zunehmend bei unterneh mensinternen Untersuchungen eingesetzt. KI beschleu nigt die Dokumentenanalyse, erkennt Muster in grossen Datenmengen, extrahiert relevante Informationen und erstellt strukturierte Gesprächsprotokolle. Diese Vorteile sind insbesondere bei komplexen, grenzüberschreitenden Untersuchungen mit umfangreichen Datenbeständen von erheblicher Bedeutung.

Préserver le secret professionnel dans les enquêtes assistées par l’IA

Les outils d’intelligence artificielle (IA) sont de plus en plus utilisés dans le cadre des enquêtes internes menées par les entreprises. L’IA accélère la revue des documents, détecte des schémas, extrait les informations pertinentes et génère rapidement des comptes rendus d’entretiens structurés. Ces gains sont particulièrement importants dans les enquêtes complexes et multi juridictionnelles.

PSD3 And PSR – Implementation And Implications For The Swiss FinTech Industry

As a third country, Switzerland is obliged neither by a bilateral nor by a multilateral agreement to transpose EU secondary law in the field of financial services. The bilateral agreements between Switzerland and the EU do not contain a market access agreement for financial services. PSD3 and PSR will therefore have no direct effect in Switzerland. Swiss payment service providers are primarily governed by Swiss law
