About this organization
Mission
Data & Society is a research institute in New York City that advances public understanding of the social implications of data-centric technologies and automation. The issues that Data & Society seeks to address are complex. The same innovative technologies and sociotechnical practices that are reconfiguring society – enabling novel modes of interaction, new opportunities for knowledge, and disruptive business paradigms – can be abused to invade people’s privacy, provide new tools of discrimination, and harm individuals and communities.
About
Data & Society works to balance our commitment to rigorous empirical research with engagement efforts to ensure that this knowledge reaches those shaping the development and governance of technology. The objectives are 1) to challenge existing narratives about the purpose and power of technology in society using rigorous interdisciplinary research 2) to expand and support a diverse field of people and organizations grappling with cultural, legal, political, and technical approaches to issues raised by data-centric technologies 3) to ensure that civil society, media, policymakers, and industry engage with our research insights-and those of our broader network-to inform and reframe decision-making around technology and 4) to encourage a culture and practice of experimentation and new forms of knowledge production.
