New paper from me, for the British Academy, on why the UK needs a Digital Civil Society Observatory to more effectively understand the social impacts of technologies and put more effective anticipatory governance measures in place. This would:

- use civil society's inbuilt horizon scanning expertise
- recognise the framing/distortion effect of some formal participation and engagement mechanisms
