Nobody has all the answers to what we’re going through.”
Jen O'Malley Dillon (born 1976) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

Carol E. Reiley (born 1982) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

Vinita Bali (born 1955) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

Batya Friedman (born 1957) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“This is a very unique opportunity to work on ethical issues in a new technology on such a scale. It comes at a point in time when AI is on the forefront of a large number of both scientific and public debates. We have the chance to work on AI ethics issues in detail, and not just by doing research behind closed doors, but with an outreach to civil society, politics, and the corporate world.”
