We @connectedbydata.org are planning a conference next year (early March, in Manchester) about people, power and participation in (public sector) data and AI.
If you were coming, who would you really like to hear from as a keynote speaker to kick off the day?

Might lead to some new additions to this :-) connectedbydata.org/resources/bl...

So excited, I have to share some work of ours @connectedbydata.org (well, mostly @timdavies.org.uk's) that has just gone live.
We've developed a "Workshop in a Box" for teachers to use to get student feedback into the AI in Education Summit early next year.

This preliminary mapping study, carried out for the Open Government Partnership, seeks to identify the organisations and institutions leading work and thinking on participatory digital governance, and to identify examples of promising practice that might be used in case studies, communications or peer-learning, with a view to informing future SMART recommendations for reforms that could be explored by Open Government Partnership stakeholders.
