About us
Our goal is to provoke new ideas, debate and discussion at the intersection of technology, democracy and policy, with a particular focus on: • Concentrations of power: the interaction of tech platforms, governments and the media and the future of the public sphere; • Geopolitics of technology: how nation states approach technology in the pursuit of advantage; • Technology and the economy: the relationship between markets, business, and labor; • Racism, bigotry, violence & oppression: how tech exacerbates or solves such challenges; • Ethics of Technology: how technology should be viewed alongside existing democratic ethos, especially with regard to privacy, surveillance and personal freedoms; • Election integrity & participation: mechanisms of democracy, problems such as disinformation and how citizens come to consensus.
