For Caribbean and international professionals working on government digitalisation
Citizens and business owners must be able to view and retrieve the data the government holds about them and have it corrected where necessary. They must also be able to share data easily way if they want to.
It is important to curb the collection, trade and sometimes loss of all kinds of personal data by public and private parties. Regulations and policies are needed for things like ID wallets and other basic services. We will connect the developments taking place within various ministries in this area, collaborating in Europe and beyond. We are focussing specifically on AI and algorithms. We will make algorithms and their applications fair and transparent through legislation, the creation of frameworks, and supervision. This will give people control of their data and enable them to rely on data being treated properly.
To ensure that everyone can have control over their digital lives, this track of the Work Agenda focuses on:
Data control to ensure that citizens and business owners have clarity on what information the government has on them, can change things and have access to the data when needed.
An Identity System to provide to digital services in accordance with the Digital Government Act at the appropriate level of trustworthiness.
Values-driven and people-oriented development and deployment of AI and algorithms.
