Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)

Observatory of Algorithms and Information Systems with Social Impact

For responsible technology

We investigate how algorithms, artificial intelligence and information systems transform society — and produce knowledge so that this transformation can be democratic, inclusive and responsible.

Observe, understand and transform

We bring together different fields of knowledge to connect technical evidence, rights and public participation.

01

Interdisciplinary research

We connect the humanities, law, computing, engineering, economics and education to understand complex systems.

02

Public monitoring

We follow impacts, policies and regulatory debates to make fragmented information more accessible.

03

Dialogue with society

We promote studies, workshops, seminars and resources that connect the university, public authorities and civil society.

Partners

Organizations working with us to build responsible technologies and knowledge in the public interest.
