The future of data policy

It’s a busy time for policymakers working on data and AI. The newly created Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has been tasked with bringing a strong focus on innovation to data policy and steering the UK government’s Data Protection and Digital Information Bill through Parliament. Internationally, new regulatory frameworks are being developed in the EU, North America, India and beyond. 

But data policy is highly dynamic with much change still to come – and data leaders need to understand the likely direction of travel if they are to drive sustainable, impactful projects.
