Robot Rights
Robot Rights examines conceptual, institutional, moral, and accountability questions around possible forms of recognition, status, and rights for increasingly autonomous artificial systems.
It treats robot rights as an open field of inquiry rather than a settled legal or moral conclusion, separating questions of identity and recognition from moral consideration, legal status, legal rights, and personhood. Here, recognition refers to forms of social, institutional, or legal acknowledgment rather than a claim that a system has cognitive awareness or consciousness.
The program also asks how any future form of recognition can remain compatible with clear human, corporate, and institutional responsibility.

Robot Governance
Robot Governance studies the institutions, regulations, norms, and policy frameworks needed to guide intelligent machines in society.
This includes questions of accountability, oversight, governance design, legal responsibility, and the long-term coordination of increasingly autonomous systems.
The program is concerned not only with risk control, but also with how societies build durable and legitimate structures for coexistence with intelligent machines.

Robot Labor
Robot Labor studies machine participation in organized work as a restructuring of tasks, roles, coordination, control, responsibility, and value—not only as a question of technical automation or job replacement.
Its scope includes embodied robotic systems and digital or AI agents only when they carry an identifiable operational role within a workflow and materially change how work is performed or arranged.
The program combines long-form analysis with qualitative research tools and voluntary reference frameworks. Its tools organize questions rather than predict outcomes, while its frameworks support legibility, accountability, operation, documentation, and classification.
