Responsible Innovation
Our work explores ways to ensure that innovation and new technologies align with the public interest and advance the common good. We work with experts and decision makers across sectors to minimize negative impacts and create positive outcomes for society, and forge partnerships to ensure sustained change.
Innovation is the engine of economic growth and progress, but it’s important to consider the potential impacts of new technologies and products on society, the environment, and the economy. Responsible innovation is about proactively addressing these impacts to ensure that new technologies and products are developed and deployed in alignment with the public interest and advance the common good.
Today, technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace and the scale of its impact is increasing. Innovations that were once only a dream are now becoming a reality, but with this rapid progress comes new challenges. Decisions made today will determine whether we continue on a path of fractured, unsafe, polluting growth, or succeed in creating a sustainable, resilient, more inclusive future.
Our organization sees this moment as an opportunity for transformative change. We help decision-makers navigate competing tensions to shape a future where responsible innovation works better for everyone. Our network of local and international experts work in various sectors and industries to produce practical, data-driven research on how to ensure that innovation and new technologies are developed and deployed in alignment with the public interest and advance the common good. We work hand-in-hand with local leaders to advance solutions to minimize negative impacts while creating positive outcomes for society. And we forge long-term partnerships and coalitions to ensure that innovation not only creates change, but sustains it.
