AI Futures Lab

Rights & Justice

The AI Futures Lab on Rights and Justice uses relational prototyping to radically re-imagine the regulation of digital technologies. We carry out impact-oriented research to support rights and justice around AI and related technologies through imagining possible futures. We are a community of researchers with diverse disciplinary backgrounds who take a socio-technical, justice-oriented approach to developing more intimate and collaborative relations between design, law, technology and society. We work with different methodological approaches including empirical research, legal research, co-speculation and participatory approaches. Our research aims to center and support those with less power in their interactions and relations with technology, working towards more just futures for all.

The AI Futures Lab is part of the TU Delft AI Labs programme.
