Recent government initiatives, such as the EU DGA and Japan’s initiative on Personal Data Trust Banks, underscore the growing importance of trusted data intermediaries (TDIs), including personal data stores (PDS), for enhancing individual agency and data control in the age of AI. Despite their recognised potential, the uptake of these TDIs faces challenges and uncertainties related to legal, operational and business model complexities.
Through breakout groups focusing on the most relevant challenges and use cases for TDIs, this workshop aims to enrich our collective understanding of TDIs, including their purpose and limitations, as well as possible ways to address the most relevant challenges faced. In doing so, this workshop will contribute to ongoing OECD work on TDI and on data governance, privacy and AI more broadly.
