We are struggling to get the best out of data. Too much gets collected, not enough gets used. When it does, it is in ways that can harm both individuals and our societies and democracies. It concentrates money and power. We want data to be used to deliver personalised services, to make scientific discoveries, and to inform business planning and government policymaking. But we also worry about our data being used to target and discriminate against us. We distrust the organisations that collect it.
我们正在千方百计地试图最有效地利用数据。我们收集的数据太多,使用的却不够。当我们能充分地利用数据时,各种各样的使用方式可能会损害到个人以及我们的社会和民主。数据汇聚金钱和权力。我们希望数据能被用来提供个性化服务,用于科学探索,并为商业规划和政府制定政策提供信息。但我们也担心我们的数据被用来针对我们和使我们陷于不公平的境地。我们不信任收集数据的组织。
