    1. In December America and Britain announced they plan, this spring, to launch a “grand challenge” prize around PET systems.

      Can UN make private and confidential data safe for public use? On 25 January, UN PET Lab was established with the aim to ‘anonymise’ health, private, commercial and other sensitive data to be used for public good purposes. Data will be anonymised and protected via use of so-called privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs). This approach can solve one of the main problems of data era of lack of access to data, in particular on health, for getting insight of interest for citizens, countries and companies worldwide.

      In the pre-launch phase UN Pet Lab experimented with two approaches

      First one is called secure multiparty computation (SMPC) in which data is kept at secure place where they are started anyway. Somebody who needs analysis of this data - e.g. private health data - sends request that is processed on the sidte where data is stored. Results of analysis are sent with the us eof special techniques, in particular, to avoid reverse-engineer that could discover private data.

      Second approach relies on so called “trusted execution environments” consisted of ‘data enclaves’ where confidential data will be executed with utmost privacy and security protection.

      UN Pet Lab will start experiments with trade data which are less controversial. also called “enclaves”, as a form of input privacy. The UN Pet Lab will run a ‘grand challenge’ prize aimed to develop new uses of PET systems.

    1. “data fusion”—combining different pieces of information to reveal things that one source cannot capture, including things no human would think to look for.

      Data fusion - a new concept that we may use in our 'lingo' (to sound 'cool')

    1. Tereza sent me an interesting link on Canvas experiment with using spreadsheet. Our AI team will follow-up on it in order to see if we can use anything from it.

      I found one aspect intereting. Most business solutons, including Tableaux, are too complex. They also start form assumption that users are not intelligent.

      We used spreadsheet intensively in www.diplomacy.edu and dig.watch transition and found it close to basic logic in organising data for which you do not need specialised knowledge.

      Behind our data sandbox is also idea of spreadsheet in displaying and arranging data.

      There is more to be explored in this experiment on the following aspects:

      • what is basic human cognition in terms of identifying mainly causations - e.g. Is it alrady captured in the logic of spreadsheet (X/Y axis)?
      • how to transfer this basic cognition into usable systems used by Diplo and GIP?

    1. Too often we get carried away by short-term thinking and the prospect of rapid gain. We need to rediscover asense of anticipation and the awareness that fate may strike at any moment. What will happen next? Scientists work to identify future threats and alert us to them.They also provide us with information and data as elements of thesolution. The proper management of this data is of paramount importance. This is why Switzerland is proud to be hostingthe next UN World Data Forum in Bern in October

      On anticipating risks; Governance of data is important; Mention of UN World Data Forum.
