Trustworthy AI Self-Assessment
This document is intended to provide some guiding questions for digital service providers thinking
about integrating AI systems into their customer-facing digital services. As such, it is intended as a
form of self-assessment for digital service providers that want to make sure that they use AI in
their digital services in a trustworthy fashion. It contains the reflections of our experts and partners (see list of contributors at the end) that came up during the last update of our Criteria Catalogue.
Digital Trust Compass
The Digital Trust Compass is an online self-assessment tool to determine whether your organisation respects and protects the interests of its users and to assess the level of digital trust awareness among end-users. It serves as a compass, guiding you along your digital trust journey, providing the right direction.

Report: Labels and Certifications for the Digital WorldTrendmap of the Digital Economy and Society developed by W.I.R.E
In a trend map created by the think tank W.I.R.E., strategic actions are outlined for promoting trust and responsibility. Over the next decade, we’ll see greater individual empowerment, improved convenience, new communities, and enhanced security. However, we must also address issues like data opacity, algorithmic bias, loss of control, and privacy erosion. SDI plans to pursue new projects and initiatives in response.

Organisations must now prioritise Digital Responsibility! The Swiss Digital Initiative and IMD have developed a resource to help you understand Corporate Digital Responsibility. The CDR Starter Kit, based on insights from top organisations and ongoing IMD research, kick-starts your CDR journey and sustains your Digital Responsibility efforts.
Introduction of CDR Starter Kit
Even though organisations are interested in Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR), sometimes they struggle to begin their CDR journey. That’s why we’ve designed the CDR Starter Kit – a versatile resource for those looking to start or explore CDR, regardless of their resources or size.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI algorithms… Are those buzzwords for you? Its effect on our daily lives is not yet fully recognisable. However, you can be sure AI has found its way into your life, you just don’t know it yet.
For example,
- If you select a movie on Netflix, you can be certain that an AI algorithm influenced your choice.
- If you apply for a job via an online application form, you can be certain that part of the selection is made by an AI algorithm.
- If you request a new credit card, you can be certain your application is checked by an AI algorithm.
