Data is now the driving force of the world’s modern economies. It fuels innovation in businesses large and small and has been a lifeline during the global coronavirus pandemic.
Sharing information quickly, efficiently, and ethically has allowed institutions, firms, and governments to coordinate the pandemic response, and has changed the way we view data itself.
But despite a new National Data Strategy to improve data use in government, the Subsidy Control Bill has been put under scrutiny as it currently does not require the Government to publish any subsidies awarded to firms under £500,000, if awarded via a ‘scheme’.
IEA Communications and Public Affairs Officer Kieran Neild Ali spoke to Anna Powell-Smith to discuss how the state can better utilise data.
Anna is a public-interest technologist and the director of the Centre for Public Data. She was also the founding technical director at the University of Oxford's DataLab, which uses data to help doctors make better decisions.
