📣 Free event: Join the Data Empowerment Fund online on 21 November I’m excited to be hosting an online event for the Data Empowerment Fund on 21 November 2024, in partnership with the Open Data Institute. Data empowerment creates opportunities for us to shape the systems of data collection, use and sharing that affect our lives. This event will showcase the role data empowerment is playing - right now - in tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from ensuring fair work and tackling the climate crisis to governing artificial intelligence. We’ve put together a variety of lightning talks, panels and other sessions, including: ⏩ Exposing the human labour in data and AI supply chains. ⏩ Filling the data gaps and using ‘counter data’ to advocate for change. ⏩ Creating and sustaining data communities. You’ll hear from the brilliant initiatives the Data Empowerment Fund is working with, as well as other experts working on topics such as data sovereignty and AI localism.
