About the UTS Human Technology Institute

The Human Technology Institute (HTI) is at the forefront of driving the regulatory, governance and technical change needed to enable a future where the benefits of digital technologies are not just delivered across Australia, but also delivered in a way that uplifts our communities and upholds human rights. We measure our success by directly influencing policy, by helping Australian business responsibly adopt digital technologies, and by building new data-driven systems that unlock value for underserved, minority, marginalised and vulnerable communities.

We bring together a team of experts with deep experience in law, policy, procurement, governance, statistics, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. Our cross-disciplinarity and deep connection into the full digital technology design, development, evaluation, and deployment lifecycle enables us to deliver solutions for government and business that are not wedded to any one silo or perspective.
