ANU is a pioneer in the field of regulation and governance, which aims to understand how various actors, governments and institutions shape the course of events in society. Our researchers are committed to not only understanding how AI-related developments are changing approaches to governance, but also developing innovative proposals to best regulate AI in practice.
Justice and Technoscience Lab
JusTech works to ensure that emerging and disruptive technologies are not only accessible and secure, but also regulated appropriately. Its goal is to advance knowledge that can be used to counteract harmful effects of innovation and to promote more equitable social outcomes. It brings together experts from different backgrounds to understand how power asymmetries affect technoscience in practice. In addition to members affiliated with RegNet, the lab maintains partnerships with scholars based at ANU, other Australian research organisations and overseas institutions.
Design Justice AI Institute
This project critically considers the rapid diffusion of so-called generative AI: that is, machine learning technologies that simulate human languages, communication, arts, and cultures through the statistical modelling of vast troves of scraped internet data.
