Last update: 6 hours agoAI in Switzerland’s job market: PwC’s AI Job Barometer says Swiss AI-related vacancies jumped by ~9,000 in 2025 to a record 25,000, with AI roles still only 1.8% of all advertised jobs—employers mainly want people who can apply AI day to day. Cancer tech from ETH Zurich: Researchers built a light-controlled molecular switch that can “wake” lung cancer cells from a drug-resistant dormant state, aiming to target tumor glucocorticoid receptors while limiting effects on healthy tissue. Swiss politics and migration: Early results show voters rejected the SVP/UDC plan to cap Switzerland’s population at 10 million by 2050 (about 55% against), with older voters more skeptical and the result seen as protecting EU free-movement ties. Swiss science and society: Swiss animation is set to shine at Annecy, with six films selected, including a world premiere co-production supported by Geneva’s Hélium Films. Global tech and research: A mathematician-led “First Proof” effort reports AI systems passing 7 of 10 problems on a tough test set, feeding the wider debate on what AI can (and can’t) do in math. Geopolitics with a Swiss link: The US and Iran reached a framework deal to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with signing planned in Switzerland on June 19.
