Technology is not evil. Evil is the user and the misuse.
We at brigkAIR know that we live a world where right now disruptive technologies are developed very rapidly. In early phases it is not always possible to pre-estimate for what this technology might be used. But technologies originally meant for military applications improved our live. Without the DARPA challenges autonomous driving and flying are hard to imagine. The WWW we use everyday was a military application at first and changed our society and daily live enormously. That said we developed this code of ethics to define our work. Some of our partners work in areas of dual-use or military applications but are interested in civil usecases as well and we want to open their resources and infrastructure for everybody.
