Why We Exist

We are optimists. We remember the utopian dream that the internet and new technology once promised. A world of unlimited possibility powered by technology working to improve lives, strengthen democracies and bring communities together.

We’re also realists. We know that a future is possible where digital platforms work for Australians: where we have control over our personal data, where digital tools are borne-out of human-centred design, where free speech is protected, and data privacy is paramount.

What We Do

 
 

We are committed to technological progress aligned with core values of fairness, egalitarianism and enterprise; and to the application of technology and data-driven business models for the benefit of all Australians.

We aim to bring the best minds together to develop evidence-based policy to drive the ethical progression of technology for a safer, fairer and more democratic Australia.
