Digital Policy Alert’s Chief Executive Officer Johannes Fritz, who is visiting from his base in Switzerland, will guide participants at the Workshop on how to build and use agentic artificial intelligence and large language models to unpack and manage large volumes of data in research and analysis. Digital Policy Alert is one of the world's leading public independent repositories that analyze policy interventions in the global digital economy, founded in 2021 by the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity Through Trade, a non-profit dedicated to transparency in trade policy.

The Endowment and the Foundation teamed up in March to publish Why Digital Is Different: Making Digital Trade Policy for the 21st Century, a joint initiative that documents and analyzes all 2,587 digital trade commitments that exist in the world and their policy implications. The Foundation publishes thought leadership on digital policy and AI and, through the Foundation’s hfAI research tool and hfAI Lab sandbox, is using AI to support and enhance trade research. The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore is playing a key role in driving an education program that focuses on applying AI and machine learning in governance and public policy across healthcare, finance, and other government services to prepare both public and private sector stakeholders in making informed policy decisions.

As part of his expertise, Dr. Fritz has been building agentic AI systems for the St. Gallen Endowment’s extensive knowledge work. Two key pieces have been the Endowment’s Iran Conflict Scenario Monitor, a system built from 14 AI agents that pull together developments from dozens of sources to capture the key turning points in a single daily update, and "The Brief", an agentic twice-daily briefing on overnight and daytime developments delivered via three minutes of audio.

Johannes’ experience in managing the development of agentic AI will help participants at the workshop understand and incorporate the latest tools and technologies to support reporting, IT integration, and agentic workflows into their research and analysis processes, including version control, modular architecture, systematic testing, and quality specifications.
