Our Mission

We want to create a space for enquiry that is honest, diverse, and transformative.

Who Are We?

Against the backdrop of an evolving AI-driven future, we examine, expose, and discuss how intellectual and political freedoms in public and individual life are subverted and manipulated.

Kritikos Institute is an initiative by academics, journalists, experts, writers, thinkers, and artists who bring to the fore the nuanced, hidden, and involuntary mechanisms by which intellectual freedom and democratic debate are undermined.

We believe we need to broaden and open the traditional research base to allow for more diverse voices, and that formal education is no prerequisite to being an expert.

We explore our cognitive states, political rationales, and social realities, which inform our intellectual minds and shape our decisions about what is real, true, meaningful, and vital to human and social life.
