It has never been easier to create, collect, combine, and share data. But at the same time, these abilities create a new set of risks, including unethical or even illegal use of data, amplification of prejudice, or usage to which the discloser has not given their consent. According to Casper Pedersen, being able to establish digital trust is key to leveraging the value in data about clients and citizens. This entails being transparent about data practices and diligent about ensuring oversight.
