Policy advisors

Our policy advisors deliver the core work of SAEGE. In response to requests for support from the European Group on Ethics, they identify experts, conduct research, and write briefings on specific topics.

Our policy advisors also lead our work in horizon-scanning, network-building, and developing guidelines for the use of AI in ethics advice.
