Use this after browsing to compare sources by where the issue appears, what human value question you want to ask, and which evidence signals to include.
Open data
The Human Value Observatory research library is a growing public index of sources about human value, AI, work, care, creativity, judgement, agency and society.
Open access means publicly accessible to read or watch. It does not automatically mean the content can be republished, copied, embedded, or reused without permission.
Analyse selected sources
This version does not run AI analysis inside the website. It creates a structured prompt you can copy into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another AI tool, shaped by the Observatory Method. Future versions may support direct AI analysis, subscriptions, user-provided AI keys and RAG-based source interrogation. Read the method.
