A National Data Library?

What is the National Data Library? Who knows!
Probably unfunny half-parody account. May or may not say useful stuff too.

"... the government has yet to publish any firm plans" - has it published any plans whatsoever? So far I've only heard vague aspirations. I can be so much more than a vague aspiration... 😪
We ran a webinar about the National Data Library a few weeks ago. Panelist James Laming from Ovation Data has shared his reflections on taking park. Find out more

And we also have the "State of digital government review" which states "Fragmented data hampers ability to analyse and draw meaningful insights". Despite all the commentary therein on the state of data, the core skillset needed to fix this - data management - doesn't get a mention!

No pressure, eh? I only have to unlock the potential of data assets across the entire public and private sector, fuel the AI revolution, all while maintaining (or restoring?) public trust.

That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement. What if I don't want to facilitate government-like-an-airline? I want to fly high, but not like that!
A pal with a Politico subscription has shown me the "early access" version of the AI Action Plan. No spoilers from me on the contents of the plan, but a quick 🧵 on a paragraph from the PM's introduction, which I suspect is ultimately more important.
Public services should be like booking flights.

How exciting(?)! I'm pretty sure this will need reliable data to underpin it all. I guess that's where I come in, right? 🤔 www.gov.uk/government/n...

On the heels of Onward in May was the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. They want a National Data Trust for health data. But don't I need to go beyond health? Isn't the ecosystem I live in so complex that a single access point even for *just* health data is more than I can hope to ever be? 🤔

One of my earliest memories was when Onward called me the "British Library for Data" and thought I could really help the UK become an AI superpower. No pressure! I've got a catchier name now though, and that's what counts #ndl
Let's get real about Britain's AI status
Britain is already a world leader in artificial intelligence. Sort of.
