Ada Lovelace Institute

Description

The mission of the Ada Lovelace Institute is to ensure that data and AI work for people and society. Members believe that a world where data and AI work for people and society is a world in which the opportunities, benefits and privileges generated by data and AI are justly and equitably distributed and experienced.

Members recognise the power asymmetries that exist in ethical and legal debates around the development of data-driven technologies, and will represent people in those conversations. The Institute focuses not on the types of technologies one wants to build, but on the types of societies one wants to build.

Through research, policy and practice, members aim to ensure that the transformative power of data and AI is used and harnessed in ways that maximise social wellbeing and put technology at the service of humanity.
