Theme: Data Governance & Privacy

Theme 6 of 9

Data Governance & Privacy

How personal and public data is collected, used, and protected — including surveillance, data sovereignty, and the rights of individuals and communities over their own information.


Trajectory

Tightening toward strict global standards

Main driver

AI-enforced global compliance systems

Leading actors

CTAA; AI compliance systems

State in 2040

Strict global standards; synthetic data used

Strict regulations ensure that data protection and data security are enforced globally, and clear global standards for the use and processing of training data emerge. Global data protection standards are automatically enforced through AI-supported compliance systems. Mechanisms are implemented that promote the availability of high-quality and secure data for AI development without violating privacy, for example through synthetic data.
