Connected by Data is proud to have contributed to the development of pioneering new standards on the use of AI to manage workers in Wales.
As part of the Trade Union Congress Cymru’s reference group on AI, Adam Cantwell-Corn fed into the development of guidance that sets high standards for the voice and rights of workers concerning use of AI in public sector bodies. The guidance was adopted formally by the Welsh Government in December 2024.

Over March 2025 we’re mapping out organisations and projects across the globe that are giving communities a voice in the governance of digital technology in public or private sectors as part of a rapid research project for the Open Government Partnership.
A strategic approach to the adoption of AI in the public sector should focus investments in places that will make a difference. Saving money is one of the big priorities for this government, so where should it target AI to realise those ambitions?
As part of our work on the Community Campaigns on Data: Campaigners Toolkit we have identified a series of case studies that provide an insight into how data is a key component of campaigns.

Data Policy Digest
SOMETHING STIRS!
Hello, and welcome to our 29th Data Policy Digest, bringing you all - well, some of - the latest data and AI policy developments.
You may remember that we put the Digest on pause while we seek sustainable funding for it. Those efforts are ongoing (and please let us know if you have any feedback). But given just how much has been going on, we thought it was worth putting out a slimmed-down version (no, really, it actually is) to help you catch up on what’s been happening on data and AI policy, in the UK parliament and government, at least.
Hello, and welcome to our 28th Data Policy Digest, bringing you all the latest data and AI policy developments.
And Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and a relaxing break from all things data and AI (with the exception of Wallace and Gromit’s terrific take on technology).
Some big Data Policy Digest news to kick off your 2025: this will be the last edition in this form with Connected by Data. The Digest, along with our other Data and AI Civil Society Network activity, was funded out of a grant from JRRT, and we were sadly unsuccessful in the latest round of applications. A massive thank you to JRRT for their funding to date; to the whole team at Connected by Data for being brilliant; and of course, to all of you for subscribing and reading.
