In their own words

“The Ada Lovelace Institute was established by the Nuffield Foundation in early 2018 and is legally party of the Nuffield Foundation. We are an independent research institute with a mission to ensure that data and AI work for people and society.”

“We believe that a world where data and AI work for people and society is a world in which the opportunities, benefits and privileges generated by data and AI are justly and equitably distributed and experienced. We recognise the power asymmetries that exist in ethical and legal debates around the development of data-driven technologies, and will represent people in those conversations. We focus not on the types of technologies we want to build, but on the types of societies we want to build. Through research, policy and practice, we aim to ensure that the transformative power of data and AI is used and harnessed in ways that maximise social wellbeing and put technology at the service of humanity.”
