About
Our work matters because the decisions made today about AI, automation, and digital transformation will determine whether technology serves human flourishing or deepens inequality. At The Davies Institute, we ensure those decisions are informed, inclusive, and impactful.
The Davies Institute is an independent research organisation committed to understanding how artificial intelligence and digital innovation are fundamentally reshaping work, institutions, and economic systems.
Our Mission
To surface critical insights at the intersection of technology and labour, challenge prevailing assumptions, and equip decision-makers with the knowledge and tools needed for an inclusive, resilient, and human-centred future of work.
Our Vision
A future where emerging technologies amplify human potential, support equitable societies, and create sustainable economic opportunities that span continents and communities. We envision work that dignifies and empowers people, allows organisations to adapt with purpose, and promotes policies that protect progress for all.
A network of thought leaders
The Davies Institute’s impact is amplified through strategic partnerships with institutions that share our commitment to conscientiously researched and inclusive innovation.
The Davies Institute Code
Our principles guide every research project, partnership, and policy recommendation.
Evidence-based rigour
We ground every conclusion in sound research, critical analysis, and transparent methodology. No assumptions go unchallenged; no claims go unverified.
Inclusive by design
We centre diverse voices, especially those most affected by technological change. Equity isn’t an afterthought; it’s the foundation of transformational progress.
Collaborative intelligence
We convene innovators, policymakers, workers, and thought leaders to solve problems no single perspective can address alone. Collective intelligence beats individual brilliance every time.
Responsible innovation
We advocate for technological solutions that advance both economic progress and social good. Innovation without responsibility is disruption without purpose.
