Center for Data Policy

Center for Data Policy focuses on the laws and regulations that contribute to interoperability, standards, governance, and privacy matters that affect the use of data across policy domains. Our work takes a systems approach, considering how to facilitate greater coordination across laws, regulations, policies, and people.

From Data for Policy to Policy for Data

The Data Foundation’s Center for Data Policy is established based on a recognition of the need for dedicated attention to the topic of data policy in the United States. The Center for Data Policy brings together experts from various disciplines to develop innovative approaches to data governance, fostering collaboration and dialogue to create a shared understanding of the opportunities and risks associated with data-driven technologies, and to identify and advance improvements for policy approaches in the United States.

The Center for Data Policy aims to develop adaptable policy frameworks that keep pace with the evolution of data and AI, addressing intersecting topics that include privacy, transparency, and accountability. By engaging with industry leaders, academia, civil society, and policymakers, the Center for Data Policy works towards creating a trustworthy data ecosystem that works for everyone.
