Social Technology Lab

Technology is never neutral. We teach you how to stay in control.

AI is taking a bigger role in how we work.

The pressure to act on it is growing too.

But how do you know what works?

  1. Where to begin?
  2. Whom to trust?

We give you the knowledge

to set your own direction.

What we do

Responsible use of technology starts under the hood.

More and more organisations are putting AI to work. But who controls your data? Who maintains the algorithms, and who benefits from their output? And how do you keep your mission, values and judgement from vanishing into a black box?

Most providers stick to the tool and its application. We also show how the technology works and which choices are already baked into it. Because what you cannot see, you cannot weigh.

The three building blocks

A blueprint that does not age.

Every training rests on the same three building blocks, so you keep asking the right questions tomorrow as well.

  1. Understand

    How AI works, and the choices and assumptions beneath it.

  2. Assess

    What it means for people: rights, fairness and other ethical concerns. And for the organisation as a whole.

  3. Govern

    Take a clear position on how your organisation wants to use AI.

Our training programme

Every organisation starts somewhere different.

So we do not begin with an off-the-shelf course; we begin by understanding your organisation, then determine which training fits. Combining courses is possible too.
