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.
Care Full is a new organisation, founded by Hannah and Ruth, two carers. We set out to explore the role of care in a new economy and how our economy could enable us to care for ourselves, one another and the planet.
Here we have a guest blog from Margaret, part of the Public Voices in AI People’s Advisory Group, a member of the People’s Panel on AI, and previous guest blogger on Baby Boomers and AI and a speech she made at the Turing UK AI Conference.
We came to Connected by Data with a clear idea of what problems our community faced. We’d turned up to countless spaces about young people’s experiences online to find we were the only young people in the room, and the narratives being set about our experiences just weren’t in line with the lived reality of growing up online.
Late last year the team at Brickwall (who produced Connected by Data’s intro video) got in touch with us to ask if we might collaborate on a commission from the Local Government Association (LGA) to put together scripts for a series of videos intended to explain artificial intelligence. Drawing on desk research, interviews and a session at UK Gov Camp, we put together a proposed approach based on three sections: introducing AI, AI in Action, and Implementing AI.
Data Policy Digest
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.
Hello, and welcome to our 27th Data Policy Digest, bringing you all the latest data and AI policy developments.
The world has changed somewhat since our last edition just over a month ago.
Yes, the Data (Use and Access) Bill has started its parliamentary journey proper.
And there was some big electoral event in the US, global ramifications, end of the world, blah blah blah. More on those stories, and much more, below.
Hello, and welcome to our 26th Data Policy Digest, bringing you all the latest data and AI policy developments.
We’ll forego the usual fun, folksy intro because DEAR GOD this is already too long (for a change, etc). A new Bill, a new advisory panel on the digital centre of government, lots on health data… To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, the only thing worse than there being far too much to talk about would be having nothing to talk about (he says, weeping into his computer keyboard).
