Automation technologies affect different people and places in different ways. Without thoughtful design and use, new technologies can diminish people's autonomy at work, and amplify existing gender, socio-economic and race inequalities: these are just some of the ways technology can affect equality, dignity and autonomy at work.
The Institute’s Power programme works to ensure that technology is designed and deployed to promote equality, dignity and autonomy for everyone. This will spread benefits, minimise risks and counter growing asymmetries of power.
