<p>IT for Change has done a 'Primer on Data and Economic Justice'
for Global Partnership on AI which just got published.

<p>Data governance still focuses almost entirely on protection from
harm, and on negative rights. With data being the most valuable
resource in present times, we also need to develop conceptions on
positive rights to the value of data, for data subjects, but also
for data workers. For both these categories, individual as well
collective economic data rights are needed. This Primer attempts
some initial work in this direction, offering a four part rights
based framework for data and economic justice. <br>

<p>Below as a teaser is the abstract, and table of contents.</p>

<font face="Arial, sans-serif">Economic justice is about ensuring
the
maternal conditions that enable or are the basis of other kinds
of
justices. In a digital society, data and digital intelligence
are the
key resources, and therefore economic justice has to focus on
how
these resources and their control are distributed. Based on some
existing work, this primer proposes four rights regarding data
that
can form the bedrock of data related economic justice; (1) right
to
benefit from one’s data, and avoid harm; (2) right to access and
port one’s data; (3) right to appropriate representation in
data;
and (4) right to govern data and data based systems. These
rights
would be both individual and collective, depending on the nature
of
data. Practical steps for ensuring data related economic justice
will
center on digital platforms, which are the sites of most digital
economic injustice – be it in relation to users/consumers; or
economic actors like traders, farmers, SMEs, small service
providers
and workers; or across countries. The counter institution that
can
address these injustices and distribute data power more evenly
is
data infrastructures. Indeed, a number of legal/policy and
programmatic initiatives already exist, mostly in the EU and
India,
that seek to employ the institution of data infrastructures to
redistribute data power, and thus ensure economic justice. What
is
needed is to bring theoretical work on data justice closer to
the
ongoing economic legal/policy efforts, which in default have
largely
been patchy and inconsistent, and therefore unlikely to be
effective.
In the last section, the primer lays out a few areas for future
theoretical research and evolution of data governance for
economic
justice.</font></p>
