Trust::Data: A New Framework for Identity and Data SharingThomas Hardjono, David Shrier, Alex Pentland
The chapter explores the critical role of trust in digital societies by presenting innovative architectures like OPAL and ENIGMA that enable privacy-preserving data insights without sharing raw data, addressing challenges of privacy, security, and data siloing. It situates these technologies within the broader context of the New Deal on Data and the UN Data Revolution, emphasizing the transformative potential of trustworthy, real-time data combined with algorithmic decision-making to enhance governance, accountability, and societal wellbeing through a new social contract around data sharing.
