Highly recommend reading this report from Smart Dubai and @OVioHQ about #decentralised #data exchanges / empowering citizens - very compelling. Some big challenges to overcome to get to a truly decentralised model but this ambition is where it all starts. buff.ly/2WkcuI2

Working Sunday is never easy. Today was different tho as under the Smart Dubai and IBM #DataScience lab we ran a first #designthinking workshop for the Executive Council and other gov depts. Our aim - to develop impactful data science use cases that relate to shared priorities.

*Exciting news* #LOTI launches today -new London Councils body to support #localgov digital transformation in London, backed by 15 London boroughs, Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan with TfL UCL & many others. Part of our Local Digital UK Gov commitment to support city-wide collaboration.

Pleased to have played my part. It felt like we were scratching at something really important last year - leading, collaborating and scaling citizen focussed #digital services and #data #innovation in #London. Congrats Chief Digital Officer for London and Eddie Copeland - a super appointment. #LOTI

Just launched #DubaiData Lab workshop, where government & private sector is joining hands to design city data driven projects & experience. Today is another milestone @ #SmartDubai to put #Data into action across #Dubai. Glad to partner with IBM MEA in this. #DubaiDataMoments

Tools for explainability of #AI (as simple as which AI has access to which data), de-biasing of #data, public engagement to push on #Dubai’s AI #ethics work. These and more ideas from Smart Dubai panel MBR School of Gov ‘a #governance in the age of AI’ event today.

Can Govt benefit from Social #AI, Computer vision for public health, and much more. A more technical, practitioner-led part of our #DataScience lab series. Smart Dubai is the main sponsor of Saturday's #Dubai Data Science meetup. Details/timings etc at bit.ly/31DR0p8

Next-stage governance and tech to build trust and boost public-private #data sharing. Using #property data as a leading indicator of city economic performance and to improve #cityplanning. My 2 main points from this @property_finder talks.... #Dubai #PropTech

A blog drawing together a recent visit to World Economic Forum #C4IR with our plans for a #decentralized #data sandbox. More soon on how to engage with this #dataexchange #datamarket initiative.

What tools can we use to assess the fairness of systems and identify bias in training data? How far can we really push the explainability of AI? #smartdubai #data is consulting on #aiethics as part of our plans to work ever more closely with our data and #AI #ecosystem in 2020
