Law & Policy
Interrogating how existing and emerging AI and data law, regulation, governance and policy meets the needs of people and society.
Who we are and what we do
In the Law & Policy team, we bring together policy expertise and research to interrogate how existing and emerging AI and data law, regulation, governance and policy meets the needs of people and society.
We work with policymakers and decision-makers – across government, regulators, industry and civil society – to influence and inform AI and data policy and practice. We seek to support local, national and international policymaking through shaping debate: connecting decision-makers to research and academia, exploring areas of disagreement or trade-off, engaging with challenging perspectives and amplifying often-overlooked viewpoints. We are non-partisan and work with policymakers and stakeholders across political spectrums.
Our evidence-based policy positions and recommendations are grounded in research, synthesis, analysis and translation; convening disciplinary and sectoral expertise; and public attitudes and participatory research with people affected by technologies.
What we are working on
We are currently working on the following projects:
Anticipating today
Co-designing new resources for policymakers to better anticipate societal and ethical impacts of emerging technologies
Private-sector data for public good: modelling data access mandates
This project aims to model the legal backbone necessary for enabling access to data mandates in practice.
