The Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET) is a globally-oriented think tank that promotes the work of experts who examine the social implications of scientific and technological progress.
The Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET) is a technoprogressive think tank that promotes the work of thinkers who examine the social implications of scientific and technological advance, and public policies that distribute the benefits and reduce the risks of technological change.
The IEET’s mission is to be a center for voices arguing for a responsible, constructive, ethical approach to the most powerful emerging technologies. We believe that technological progress can be a catalyst for positive human development so long as we ensure that technologies are safe and equitably distributed. We call this a "technoprogressive" orientation.
We aim to showcase technoprogressive ideas about how technological progress can increase freedom, happiness, and human flourishing in democratic societies. Focusing on emerging technologies that have the potential to positively transform social conditions and the quality of human lives—especially "human enhancement technologies" — the IEET seeks to cultivate academic, professional, and popular understanding of their implications, both positive and negative, and to encourage responsible public policies for their safe and equitable use.
