Legal, ethical, economic and technological lessons for a robust data economy.

As humanity becomes increasingly data dependable, it is necessary to make sure that the data it stands on reflect the values inherent to a fair, ethical, and economically sound society. If so, data can be used as a tool for inclusion, for closing inequality gaps, and for building a more balanced society.

This values-centric symposium aims to bring together experts from data science, ethics, economics and law to create a White Paper establishing basic principles for the use of data in the data economy.
