Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 3, Issue 49), which is the only publication dedicated to Data and Analytics companies who share a passion for serving the Public Sector. This week’s issue is chock full of compelling government contracting opportunities, as well as numerous news articles germane to that exciting confluence of data, analytics and government. Our weekly featured items highlighted below are focused on several of the hottest topics in this market – Supply Chain Risk Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Rights – so, buckle up and dig in!
In other data news, on November 10th, FedScoop published an interesting article entitled, White House technology policy chief says AI bill of rights needs ‘teeth’. In this article, Dave Nyczepir describes how the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s bill of rights for an artificial intelligence-powered world needs “teeth,” in the form of procurement enforcement, said Director Eric Lander on Tuesday.
- “Lander’s comments come after the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a request for information last month on biometrics use cases — given the technologies’ wide adoption for identification, surveillance, and behavioral analysis — to inform development of the AI bill of rights … Establishing a right of consent to data use could lead to a layered consent model where owners decide what purposes their data is used for; if that data can be sold, so long as other users abide by the same restrictions; when to withdraw data and have it deleted; and if an agent can decide all that on their behalf.”
