Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Public Policy

Data-driven decision models are seen as a commitment to an efficient digital society. This project looks into the opportunities and risks presented by such models for employment services.

The goal of the project is to systematically determine whether the latest machine learning methods can improve decision-making. We aim to demonstrate how to use a data-driven decision model to best achieve decision-makers’ objectives.

This research receives funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation. The project Chances and risks of data-driven decision making for labour market policies is part of the National Research Programme 77 “Digital Transformation” (NRP 77).
