INTRODUCTION
Our work is guided by, and references, the legal and regulatory frameworks that safeguard citizens, markets, and institutions. While we operate as an independent research entity, our methodologies are aligned with the principles underpinning these frameworks. We examine how systemic technological failures may result in violations of established legal and regulatory frameworks.
OUR LEGAL FOUNDATION
Our work operates within the boundaries of, and contributes to the understanding and effective application of, critical legal domains including:
- Corporate Governance & Executive Accountability
- Financial Market Integrity & Investor Protection
- Digital Rights, Data Protection & Privacy
- Consumer Safety & Product Liability
- Public Health & Medical Ethics
- Environmental Sustainability
- Human Rights & Equality
- Electoral Integrity & Media Governance
- Emerging AI-Specific Regulation
THE BRIDGE FROM RESEARCH TO REGULATION
Our core function is to build credible, evidence-based bridges between technical discovery and regulatory action.
Methodological Rigor: Our audit frameworks are designed to produce documented, reproducible evidence that meets forensic-grade documentation standards.
Quantifiable Metrics: We develop metrics that translate observable AI behaviors into quantifiable data relevant for compliance and risk assessment.
Actionable Reporting: Our research output is structured to assist regulators and legal counsel in understanding the materiality and implications of systemic risks.
We maintain strict independence from any commercial entities subject to audit and uphold conflict-of-interest safeguards in all engagements.
