About us

Foundation

The Foundation is the international competence platform for the active public and private exchange of experience in the fields of artificial intelligence and quantum technology.
The Foundation brings together representatives from science, business, politics and civil society to promote and support interdisciplinary cooperation, the advancement of science and projects and the development of applied, needs-based solutions in the exchange between science, business, politics and civil society.

Code of Conduct

All Foundation activities are characterized by an institutional culture that demonstrates science, business, politics and civil society in the global public interest while maintaining the highest standards of governance.
Moral and intellectual integrity is central to all activities. The Foundation adheres to the principles of impartiality, independence, moral and intellectual integrity. These principles are of paramount importance for safeguarding the mission, image and status of the Foundation.

Founder

The founders of the Foundation are convinced that artificial intelligence and quantum technology will revolutionize our life and work. They offer enormous advantages for business, politics and civil society. All processes in all areas (e.g. environment, health, economy) will be changed sustainably. However, the new technologies also arouse fears and ethical concerns. Accordingly, governments and companies have a duty to ensure that these technologies follow our values and laws. People must be able to assume that security and privacy are top priorities.
The challenges and opportunities of the future require a new kind of institution and collaboration – one with the adaptability, entrepreneurial spirit and trust of all involved – bringing together people who have the will and the power to drive solutions and change together.
