New UK Gov White Paper on Development is out! Lots to say (see @charlesjkenny @EconMitch & others), but on #data it's unequivocal - it's central to everything. #UKDev 🧵

[Claire Melamed @clairemelamed]

AI for development = data for development.

Realising the promise of AI needs a data system which is inclusive & safe, with benefits fairly shared & opportunities open to all.
