“In my eyes, the most important question of the 21st century is how to ethically use the technologies of tomorrow to solve global problems such as energy sustainability, climate change, human & animal suffering, and poverty. In order to do this, both knowledge on advances in AI, but also a deep understanding of human societies and the functionality of the brain are required, which reflects the three research pillars on which ACIT was founded. Furthermore, I sincerely believe that education enables ripple effects, and that by giving educational and professional opportunities to people, they themselves likewise become enabled to create and inspire opportunities for others, thus spreading through the world like ripples. These social and scientific beliefs are the foundation on which I founded ACIT Global.” Benjamin Bargetzi, Senior Key Account Manager at Google, Founder and President of ACIT, and Alumnus of the Swiss Study Foundation
Other ACIT-enthusiastic Swiss Study Foundation members include Tomas Marik, Rafael Eggli and Maximilian Stoller.
