Cardiff Business School - Breakfast Briefing - How are Governments using our data?

This event has ended.

Towards Democratic Auditing: Civic Participation in the Scoring Society Globally, governments at all levels are increasing their collection, use and sharing of citizen data. How new and often obscure systems of categorization, risk assessment, social sorting and prediction may influence funding and resource decisions, access to services, intensify surveillance and increase inequality is a matter of grave concern. Despite widespread recognition of the risks that come with new data systems, it is near impossible for citizens to know about and engage with the data systems affecting them. In this talk Joanna Redden details the work the Data Justice Lab has been doing to investigate the implications of changing government data practices in the UK as well as the changes needed to advance citizen participation. The talk provides an overview of the Lab's Data Scores as Governance project which involved mapping and analyzing changing government data practices in the UK. Joanna will also detail early findings from the Lab's current project which investigates how we can advance civic participation in our increasingly datafied societies.
