How can we build data and AI ecosystems in which all partners -- citizens, companies, and government -- are winners?

Data and AI are now primary means of production, along with capital and labor. Scalable, sustainable, and socially acceptable data and AI ecosystems require new ways to think about data ownership, new ways to quantify impact, and new ways to manage trade. The Data-Driven Societies Research Group aims to explore and establish equitable frameworks and infrastructure upon which our digitally-enabled world is based.
