This is a three-part podcast on Data for Good. We discuss new data landscapes, power dynamics in data, inequities and concrete solutions to redress (some of) them.

The expert today is Gry Hasselbalch. Her expertise is, amongst others, in data equity and power in data. She served as a member of the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on AI and a member of the Danish government’s first Data Ethics Expert Group.
The COVID-19 crisis did not create but it did expose limitations in capacities and regulations of the new data systems. This part goes deep into:
• Data culture – why governments need to follow suit of the private sector and build standing capacities from within not only to regulate but to also bank on new data in the very act of governing.
• Regulations – how governments need to master the balancing act of being permissive enough for data to thrive yet provide guarantee against misuse; and
• Skills – how the rest need to become data scientists and how the data scientists need to become much more.
