Where We Focus

Digital technology is one of the most powerful forces shaping our daily lives. At this critical juncture in the digital revolution, it cannot be left unsupervised. We must all play an active role to ensure it evolves to benefit everyone.

Our Priorities

Digital technology doesn't operate in a vacuum. It is deeply intertwined with our economic system and private companies, government and politics, and social structures.  That’s why our priorities cover the key drivers of our shared digital future: culture, policy, markets, and tech itself.

The Culture of Tech

We want to see people as the lead protagonists in our digital future.

The Governance of Tech

We want to see strong governance of digital technology in service of the public interest.

The Business of Tech

We want to see an economy with more responsible tech companies that proactively manage technology’s most consequential impacts.

Points of View

We publish our points of view to enable those who work with us—and those who might disagree with us—to understand what we believe and are trying to achieve.
