Working Group on Data Governance
The mandate of the Working Group of Data Governance aligns closely with GPAI’s overall mission. The Working Group aims to collate evidence, shape research, undertake applied AI projects and provide expertise on data governance, to promote data for AI being collected, used, shared, archived and deleted in ways that are consistent with human rights, inclusion, diversity, innovation, economic growth, and societal benefit, while seeking to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Working Group on Data Governance applies a horizontal lens to its work and projects. This reflects the foundational nature of data governance and suits the group’s expertise, alongside maintaining the flexibility and broader use of its work. The Working Group collaborates with other Working Groups to advise on the data governance aspects of GPAI’s wider project portfolio, with experts having volunteered to provide specialist input on a responsible AI strategy for the environment, social media governance, AI for public domain drug discovery, and intellectual property. The goal is to ensure that the outputs are widely useful amongst those researching, thinking about and implementing data governance practices in AI.
