The Institute for the Future of Work is an independent research and development institute exploring how new technologies are transforming work and society.

At IFOW we believe that good work is the best way to build a good society. We are currently seeing technology rapidly changing the nature, quality and distribution of work, bringing new opportunities – and new risks – to people’s ability to access good jobs, and thus our ability to build a good society in which all people can flourish. The three pillars of our work at IFOW represent the ways that we are approaching this challenge.
At IFOW, we believe that innovation and social good can advance together when human experience is put at the centre of processes of technology adoption. To deliver this, we are modelling good practice and the regulation of AI that protects human agency and promotes sustainable growth.
We understand how people experience technological change at work and bring together government, industry and civil society to drive systemic change for a fairer future.
