Technical Innovations to support a Data Economy
With advancements in AI, robotics and automation, humans will be needed much less for manual labour, factory work and logistics. Meanwhile, tensions in society will emerge if dislocated labour cannot be diverted into higher value creative fields. To promote agency and participation, as well as reduce the negative impacts of exponential digital technologies, the Data Economy will be a fundamental driver for unleashing human economic potential in this century. A broad range of standards, tooling and monetization channels must emerge to leverage intellectual property and data for everyone’s benefit.
Bruce Pon is the Founder of Ocean Protocol, a blockchain startup focused on bringing data and AI together since 2013. Previously, Bruce co-founded Avantalion, a consulting firm that helped to build 20 banks around the globe for companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi & Jaguar LandRover.
Damian Boeselager
Member of the European Parliament
Putting the user at the center of non-personal data monetization rights will enable the European data economy
What data am I allowed to share? How much do I get for it? These two questions lie at the heart of decision makers in SMEs and larger companies. The truth is, currently they won’t be able to find a good answer. Legal uncertainty around data sharing rights prevents the development of market prices for any given data set. The data act can be turned into a market enabling regulation, if it creates legal certainty around the non-personal data I am allowed to share and solve this issue at the core of the European data economy.
Damian Boeselager is a Member of the European Parliament. Damian co-founded Volt, a pan-European, progressive and pragmatic Europe-wide movement with the aim of reforming the European continent and solving the big challenges of our time. In the European Parliament, Damian focuses on creating a real European parliamentary democracy, creating the framework for a competitive and innovative European economy with a focus on data policy and AI, establishing paths for legal migration, setting up a common, fair and fast European asylum system, and ensuring that the EU works for all via budgetary stability measures.
