What We Do
About CPI | What We Do
CPI’s work unfolds across 3 strategic pathways: ADVOCACY, LITERACY & RESEARCH.
1) WE ADVOCATE FOR INNOVATIVE-AND-HUMANE TECH
Our advocacy encourages responsible technology use and policy safeguards at multiple levels:
We urge the implementation of digital protections, ethical AI governance, psychological safety standards, and human rights-centered technology policy.
We encourage the integration of cyberpsychology-informed practices into product development, user experience design, and deployment of AI systems, especially in emotionally and socially sensitive contexts (e.g., AI companions, educational bots, surveillance tools).
We push for the inclusion of AI literacy, digital ethics, and socio-psychological tech impact courses in curricula, teacher training, and community learning efforts.
We provide AI-impact education to help workforces better balance innovation and efficiency with psychological well-being (to protect against harm and exploitation).
2) WE ADVANCE LITERACY ACROSS AI, CYBERPSYCHOLOGY, NEUROETHICS & DIGITAL MEDIA DOMAINS
We move beyond surface-level digital skills to foster an overlapped-literacy approach that expands understanding in important and multidisciplinary ways.
Demystifying AI and emerging technologies so everyday people can:
- understand how these systems work,
- what psychological effects they have,
- and what rights they should advocate for in an AI-powered society.
CPI prepares people for AI-driven workforce transformation through accessible learning resources, workshops, and psychological resilience strategies.
We push for the inclusion of AI literacy, digital ethics, and socio-psychological tech impact courses in curricula, teacher training, and community learning efforts.
To the public and media, we offer psychologically informed insights and nuanced perspectives on emerging technologies — especially where critical conversations may be missing from mainstream discourse.
How do we do this? We help the public and media explore deeper dimensions of digital innovation, providing context and clarity around the psychological impacts of fast-moving tech trends.
3) WE INITIATE & SPOTLIGHT IMPORTANT RESEARCH
Our research and educational efforts are cyberpsychologically informed and publicly accessible:
We investigate the psychological effects of emerging technologies — including social bots, AI companions, immersive platforms, neurotechnologies, and surveillance systems.
We educate through reports, toolkits, ebooks, online courses, visual explainers, public events, and media; all designed to bridge cyberpsychological insight with practical, community-facing knowledge.
We explore the human side of human-machine innovation by tracking not only what’s being built, but how it affects identity, behavior, relationships, cognition, and emotional development.
We invite you to help shape this journey.
Whether you’re able to donate, volunteer, attend our events, share our resources, or simply amplify our message, your support helps us move from aspiration to advocacy.
