The Cyber Valley Public Advisory Board met for the third time on 5 March 2020 and elected Prof. Dr. Dr. Ulrich Hemel as deputy speaker. Professor Hemel is Director of the World Ethos Institute in Tübingen.

"The Tübingen PAB shows how valuable constructive dialogue between the various stakeholders - research, industry, and civil society - can be. It is particularly gratifying that the ethical sensitivity and ethical language skills of the researchers have already developed enormously in such a short period of time," said Professor Hemel. "The establishment of a Public Advisory Board for Cyber Valley has pooled voices from different social, economic, scientific and political areas. This in itself can be considered a form of social innovation, especially when it comes to the ethical and social consequences in the field of machine learning."
