I've just posted a couple of write-ups from recent Connected by Data sessions.

https://connectedbydata.org/blog/2022/12/13/data-and-ai-governance-around-the-world looks at what's happening in #AI and #datagovernance around the world, with input from @JeniT, @openfuture, RIA, Aapti & Datasphere Initiative.

And https://connectedbydata.org/blog/2022/12/14/people-power-vs-surveillance-capitalism documents the fascinating discussion we had on Monday with Prof Shoshana Zuboff, exploring where and how the strategies of democracy & #datagovernance groups connect with her call for an abolitionist approach to big tech

Data and AI regulation around the world

We held the first in our Connected Conversations series earlier this month, bringing together a number of data governance thinkers, practitioners and campaigners from four continents to explore current contours of data and AI regulation around the world. In our hour-long discussion we just scratched the surface of the different opportunities and challenges present when it comes to putting communities at the heart of data governance, and we’re confident that there is value in continuing and deepening the conversation, particularly with a focus on the narratives and agendas around data at play in the G7 and G20 over the coming years. Put briefly, contributions pointed to both opportunities to innovate and build models of collective data governance within existing and nascent legal frameworks, and to the need to critically engage with advancing data policy agendas to make sure they don’t narrow, undermine or sideline the space for data governance that takes account of community impacts and democratic voice.

@timdavies @JeniT @openfuture
I am really interested in the concept of local data governance policy-making mentioned briefly in first post. While a diversity of approaches is bad for 'big tech', it recognises value pluralism and diversity as well as the ultimately political (small 'p') source of many of the claims to data rights.

I would be keen to hear more.

@tomstoneham @JeniT Thanks. Would be more than happy to find time for a chat - we're thinking a lot about how to make this work in practice - and keen to think along with others.

@timdavies @JeniT If you have time for a chat, that would be great. I have been thinking a lot about the normative basis for digital rights (taking e2ee as a case study) and it isn't easy.
