A new book co-authored by Swiss Professor Christian Hauser examines the surge in corruption during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting cases even in Switzerland. Hauser discusses how emergency decision-making created opportunities for misconduct, with allegations of fraudulent pandemic relief claims surfacing. While Switzerland generally ranks well on the corruption scale, it has seen a decline in recent years. The book emphasizes the potential of digital tools and artificial intelligence to prevent future corruption and prepare for crises, underscoring the necessity for proactive measures against unethical practices.
