Center for AI and Ethics Our Mission
As a platform, we bring together people and institutions from science, technology, business, culture, film, law, ethics, public administration, and civil society. Our commission: to promote the responsible application of artificial intelligence with a European focus.
What We Do
We provide consulting, expert guidance, moderation, and project support for companies, institutions, research facilities, and public bodies. Our work covers all areas of artificial intelligence: knowledge transfer, further education, project development, and cross-sector cooperation.
In practice: roundtables and expert discussions, workshops, seminars and trainings, publications and studies, working groups, digital exchange formats, mentoring, and joint projects with partners from business, research, and the public sector.

Our Philosophy
Ethical considerations first.
AI must function constitutionally — guided by ethics. Fundamental moral and ethical considerations must underpin its development and use. At all scales and in all matters, whether small or large, core values must guide deliberation and precede decision-making.
Transparency & accountability.
AI systems must be transparent wherever possible. Their decisions must be comprehensible. Those who develop and deploy them are held accountable for their outcomes.
Humanistic design.
AI must primarily serve humans and the ecological environment. This extends to economic outcomes: the benefits AI creates must be equally directed toward employees' advantage as toward employers'.
Sustainability.
We advocate sustainable planning that prioritises long-term responsibility over short-term gain.
