Data & Society believes that technology policy must be grounded in research, account for tech’s real-world impacts, and serve the public. We’re working toward a future where people, not technology, come first.
We study the social implications of data, automation, and AI, producing original research to ground informed public debate about emerging technology.

As AI and algorithmic systems make it harder for people to democratically contest harms and hold the powerful to account, our interventions advance structural solutions, not technological tweaks.
Join us in building a more inclusive and accountable technological future.
