This Open AIR Working Paper 29 explores governance challenges pertaining to data and data-driven technology, with emphasis on the relevance of these challenges to pursuit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The paper identifies the core dynamics and challenges at play in regulation (as the core dimension of governance) with respect to digital divides; the data divide and competition dynamics in digital markets; artificial intelligence (AI), data and algorithm biases, and inaccuracies; cross-border data flows; data and platform work; and intellectual property, including data ownership.
