Democratizing Our Data
A Manifesto
Book • 2020
In 'Democratizing Our Data: A Manifesto,' Julia Lane argues that the current data governance system is flawed because it often serves the interests of a small elite rather than the public.
Lane advocates for creating a more just and equitable society by giving people access to the data that affect their lives.
She proposes practical solutions such as data trusts owned by communities and greater transparency and accountability in data collection and use.
The book emphasizes the need for data literacy and addresses the 'data divide,' highlighting disparities in access to data among different groups.
Lane's arguments are supported by real-world examples and her extensive experience as an economist and data scientist.
