Data is the foundation of AI. Poor quality data drives up costs and can lead to hidden problems for AI, while biased data negatively affects the performance of AI models. AI practitioners must dedicate time to ensuring the datasets they use are ready, meaning they can spend less time innovating and delivering AI solutions. Instead, their work would be more efficient and productive if datasets were published in a way that makes them AI-ready. Read more.

The National Data Library (NDL) is a proposal that lies at the heart of the UK government’s AI strategy. However, while the NDL’s potential is clear and government funding is in place, it has remained mostly abstract, a policy idea rather than a practical implementation. We've used our institutional expertise and experience to design and implement an AI-ready prototype of the NDL. Find out more.

We have published a paper that reviews our progress three years into our 5 Year Strategy. It takes stock of what we've delivered so far, analyses the changing external landscape, and sets out how the ODI is adapting its priorities and commitments for the remainder of the strategy period.

It serves as a record of our achievements and a clear statement of our future direction, demonstrating how our work has evolved in focus while staying true to long-standing principles.
