Open Future's newest white paper, authored by @zwarso and myself, addresses the governance of data sets used for #AI training.
Over the past two years, it has become evident that shared datasets are necessary to create a level playing field and support AI solutions in the public interest. Without these shared datasets, companies with vast proprietary data reserves will always have the winning hand.

Our white paper proposes that data sets should be governed as commons, shared and responsibly managed collectively. We outline six principles for commons-based governance, complemented by real-life examples of these principles in action.
