Human agency in a world of systems.Menselijke zeggenschap in een wereld van systemen.

I explore what happens when technology, institutions, culture and circumstance begin making decisions about us — and how we retain the ability to think, choose, create and care.Ik onderzoek wat er gebeurt wanneer technologie, instituties, cultuur en omstandigheden beslissingen over ons gaan vormen — en hoe we het vermogen behouden om te denken, kiezen, creëren en zorgen.

Responsible Technology & Digital Human Rights

A research and professional theme exploring what happens when technology begins to affect rights, opportunities, relationships and institutional power. My interest is not simply whether technology is safe, accurate or compliant. Those questions matter. But a system can be technically robust and still be deployed for the wrong purpose. It can satisfy a transparency obligation while remaining practically impossible to challenge. It can contain a human-in-the-loop who has neither the time nor authority to disagree. It can improve an organisation's risk posture while transferring risk to the person with the least power. Responsible technology therefore requires a wider question: what does this system allow one actor to do to another, and what protections exist when that power is exercised badly?
