To complement the internal governance structure and processes that help us implement the principles, we\u2019ve established an Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC). This group will consider some of Google&#8217;s most complex challenges that arise under our AI Principles, like facial recognition and fairness in machine learning, providing diverse perspectives to inform our work. We look forward to engaging with ATEAC members regarding these important issues and are honored to announce the members of the inaugural Council:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block-image_full_width\">\n<figure class=\"article-image--full article-module \"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ATEAC_members.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod\/images\/ATEAC_2019.max-1000x1000.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"rich-text\">\n<ul>\n<li><b>Alessandro Acquisti<\/b>, a leading behavioral economist and privacy researcher.
