The ‘dark side of digital’
At CIM, we explore how to mitigate the risk of digital technologies being misused to fuel misinformation, fraud, hacking, abusive networks, and other harmful activities.
As technology advances, so do the costs of regulation and governance, borne by governments, businesses, communities, and individuals. Our research tackles these challenges head-on, asking how we can build resilience in a fast-changing world.
Key areas include the reliability of data, AI in criminal investigations, the use of VR in harmful content, and digital tools in violence against women and girls. Far from a digital utopia, we address the realities of a contested digital landscape, working to understand and mitigate harm while shaping a safer, more responsible future.
