Opening Data for AI Innovation

Opening Data for AI Innovation

About the Series

Opening Data for AI Innovation is a four-part series for public professionals exploring how to make data more accessible and interoperable to support responsible AI development, while protecting privacy, security, and public trust.

As AI tools increasingly rely on shared and connected datasets, governments face growing pressure to open data in ways that enable innovation without creating new risks. This series helps public sector teams understand how open data can serve as critical infrastructure for AI, and what it takes to design, govern, and apply data systems that are usable, secure, and accountable.
This series is offered in collaboration with the Govlab and  The Data Stewards Academy
