Science, Technology & Society

Our Centre is dedicated to promoting the responsible development and use of emerging technologies and scientific advances. The rapid development and uptake of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) have the power to transform many aspects of society, but bring with them substantial challenges. With our focus on innovative research and policy analysis, we aim to support the responsible development, deployment and adoption of powerful new innovations, thereby contributing to a safer and more socially responsible future. 

We create an evidence base to influence policy and practice by combining qualitative, quantitative, and experimental research methodologies. Through partnerships and collaborations with various sectors, including government, industry, not-for-profits, Indigenous-led organisations, international organisations, and end-users, we ensure our research has a real-world impact. 

 We are interested in working with you. To commission research or find out more about this theme, please contact our STS Theme Lead, Dr Caitlin Curtis, at c.curtis@business.uq.edu.au.
