Stanford Report

Through Project Liberty’s Institute, Stanford will collaborate with Georgetown and Sciences Po to shape the technical, ethical, and governance infrastructure of emerging technologies and the next-generation internet.

Digital technologies, from social media platforms to cryptocurrencies to generative AI, are the source of a variety of problems that undermine the interests of individuals and organizations, and the foundations of democracy itself. In order to fully enjoy any upsides, these downsides need to be effectively addressed.

Stanford University is joining Project Liberty’s Institute, a consortium of experts in law, policy, social sciences, ethics, and technology working together to shape emerging technologies and a new internet designed and governed for the common good. Stanford becomes one of three founding partners, with Georgetown University and Sciences Po, and will receive philanthropic support to advance cutting-edge research, education, and training in technology, ethics, policy, and governance.
