Members include privacy researcher Alessandro Acquisti, mathematical research expert Bubacarr Bah, natural language processing / music technology / machine learning researcher De Kai, industrial engineering / unmanned system expert Dyan Gibbens, Joanna Bryson, a psychology and AI expert who has long worked on AI ethics, Kay Coles James, a public policy expert, Luciano Floridi, a digital ethics expert and a foreign policy expert, I have eight members of William Joseph Burns.
The committee was launched on March 26, 2019 (Tuesday), and was scheduled to be active from April.

In addition, one of the members, Mr. Kay Coles James, is a person who has a negative view on immigration and LGBTQ, and it is acceptable to support the view by selecting such a person as a member. There was also a backlash from Google internals and experts.

As a result of these moves, Google has decided that it is not possible to continue the ATEAC. According to the release, we will continue to work on ways to obtain external opinions.
