Key Measures to Combat Tech Power

Algorithmic Accountability
An emerging AI Accountability template runs the risk of entrenching power within the tech industry, and undercuts structural solutions.

Antitrust
Structural reforms are key to fixing the harms caused by Big Tech.

Biometrics & Affect
Despite mounting evidence of harm and untested scientific claims, biometric systems are still quietly proliferating.

Global Digital Trade
Global trade laws are typically negotiated in secret and without public deliberation, and have become a focus for intense tech industry lobbying for preferential treatment.

Worker data rights are only a starting point: we’ll need bright-line rules to meaningfully build worker power.

Large-Scale AI Models
Industry narratives attempt to stave off regulation, but large-scale AI needs more scrutiny, not less.

Privacy & Competition
Regulating Big Tech’s data advantage.

US/China AI Race
