Our advisory board 

AI is a highly complex technology that intersects with several other fields. Properly navigating  ethical dilemmas in AI requires a broad range of perspectives, and we see diversity as a cornerstone of our AI consulting practice.

That's why we refer our most complex cases to an advisory board composed of experts - academics and practitioners - in the field of AI and beyond. Our board meets on an ad-hoc basis to tackle specific issues in open discussion sessions. 

 

The goal of the advisory board is to dissect particularly thorny cases within AI ethics and work towards reasonable conclusions. This modus operandi allows the advisory board members to study and learn from real-life examples from the field as well as exchange interdisciplinary knowledge, while our clients get new perspectives from highly trained professionals.
