Three CETE-P members - Juraj Hvorecký, Tomáš Hříbek, and Petr Urban became External Fellows of the Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) led by Patrick Lin.

The Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group is a non-partisan think tank focused on risk, ethics, and social concerns related to new sciences and technologies.

This includes AI and robotics, bioengineering, cybersecurity, digital media, materials science, and more, especially in security and defense applications. Its work in “frontier ethics” aims to help develop norms and governance in the Arctic, outer space, and other domains, as emerging technologies can unlock greater access to those frontiers.

As a research and educational group, it is involved with ethics and risk assessment, course development, publishing projects, media outreach, public lectures, and other activities to engage policymakers, business, academia, as well as the broader public on key issues in science and society.
