Democracy and Tech

Our town squares have moved to hyper-personalised phone screens. This digital transformation has resulted in the polarisation, discrimination and fragmentation of the public sphere.

Digital Harms

We need safeguards against the many digital harms in our online spaces including addictive social media, deepfakes, companion chatbots, and online scams.

AI for All

AI has the potential to greatly improve our everyday lives from usage in healthcare to automating daily workflows. However, there are risks of leaving behind the most vulnerable among us.
