Why we use a CC-BY license

The Ada Lovelace Institute’s mission is to ensure data and AI work for people and society. We do this by conducting research that addresses social and ethical issues arising from the use of data-driven technologies, supporting the development of better technology policies and practices.

The outcomes of our work – reports, articles, images, blogs and more – need to be read and used by a wide range of people to support our mission. Sharing our work under an open license enables others to reuse and adapt the content we publish to suit their needs, or to share it among their own networks and audiences.

We believe that research, knowledge and information should be free and open to all. By sharing our content under a CC-BY 4.0 license, we live that value through our own practice.
