About this listen

Public policy refers to the tools that governments and other public servants use to deliver on social aims. From lowering waiting times on the NHS to reducing carbon emissions, data has changed the game for policy making.

Technologies that use data to make sophisticated decisions are developing rapidly, creating new social and economic challenges – such as the proliferation of online misinformation and deepfakes, and the roll-out of intrusive algorithmic management practices at work.

So does policymaking itself need to change in order to govern data effectively? Emma Thwaites from the ODI discusses the issue with guests Alek Tarkowski from Open Future and Matt Davies from the ODI.
