Recent scandals have als o illustrated the extent to which these data governance models make us vul nerable to attacks on our privacy rights\, and other human rights abuses. To restore public trust\, new approaches to data governance are desperatel y needed.\n\n“Data trusts” — a third-party stewardship model of data gover nance based on the common law trust — have the potential to to reinforce d ata governance and promote public trust. In a recently released white pape r\, Element AI examines how data trusts could be used to: provide individu als with a greater measure of control over their personal data\; increase access to data and foster innovation\; address asymmetries of power that e xist between corporations\, the government and individuals\; enhance the p rotection of individual privacy and other human rights\; and\, empower the public to share in the value of data and artificial intelligence.\n\nMore work is needed to flesh out this concept\, so come along and join the dis cussion!\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nPhilip Dawson is Public Policy Lead at El ement AI\, an artificial intelligence products provider based in Montreal\ , Canada and a global thought leader in the adoption of responsible AI.
