Institute for Technology Stewardship

Keeping human judgment at the centre of autonomous systems.

An independent research institute advancing governance frameworks for autonomous and emerging technology - so that as systems grow more capable, accountability stays with people.

What we do

ITS bridges operational expertise from critical infrastructure with policy research—developing frameworks, publishing evidence-based insights and engaging with relevant standards and policy processes.

Telecom operations centres, air-traffic control and other critical-infrastructure environments offer important evidence about how people and automated systems can work together at scale. ITS examines how these operational lessons can strengthen technology governance.
