Initially billed as a medium of exchange by its founder- Saitoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin has risen exponentially in value- from a low of $0.17 in December 2010 to a historic high of $19,498.63 in December 2017- a rise of 11.47 million % (not a typo) in 7 years. Due to this very high valuation, bitcoin has lost any functionality as a medium of exchange (to replace or rival fiat currency) and is increasingly being viewed instead as a store of value. It has earned the title- ‘digital gold’.
It is almost impossible to believe that Blockchain Technology or Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has been around for ten years now. However, one key blockchain property that has transformative promise within the context of the public sector is the irreversibility or tamper-proof property. Once transactions or records are validated and entered into the blockchain database, they remain permanently inscribed and cannot be altered thereafter.

Decentralized finance, or Defi is a system by which financial products become available on a public decentralized blockchain network. That makes them open to anyone to use, rather than going through middlemen like banks or brokerages. Decentralized finance aims to use technology to remove intermediaries between parties in a financial transaction. The components of Defi are stablecoins,use cases, and a software stack that enables the development of applications.
Initial coin offerings (ICOs) are a new way of raising funds for projects running on blockchain technology. Similar to the role venture capital (VC) plays in financing start-ups in traditional finance, ICOs are the future of venture investing in the blockchain world. Through ICOs, exponential returns can be earned in a very short period of time. When a decentralised application is created, the start-up behind it can sell the associated coin or token early in the process for an amount based on what it thinks it’s worth.

This unveiling event occurred at the Egmont Institute in Brussels.
The handbook stands as a bridge, seamlessly connecting practical and technical realms, unearthing innovative methodologies, and promoting a deeper understanding of data ethics, protection, and governance. It is the result of a collaboration between the IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre, the European Commission’s Knowledge Centre on Migration and Demography, and The GovLab at New York University.
AI Localism: Toward Effective and Legitimate Governance of Artificial Intelli...Stefaan Verhulst
🏙️ Cities are at the forefront of AI governance, acting as laboratories of governance innovation.
🤝 Proximity fosters a unique environment for experimentation due to cities' close relationship with citizens.
🌍 Different cities, different insights – a rich tapestry of AI governance approaches is emerging.
🛠 Yet, we now have to start crafting the Normative Framework: What Does “Good” Look Like?
This requires us to think about how ESTABLISHING LEGITIMACY & EFFECTIVENESS at the same time?
This will require us to evaluate AI localism along 7 lines:
👥 PARTICIPATION: Inclusive decision-making with diverse stakeholders.
Example: Citizen Assemblies
🔊 REPRESENTATION: Ensuring diverse voices shape AI policies.
Example: Dedicated Committees
🔍 TRANSPARENCY: Clear about AI applications & decision-making processes.
Example: AI Registries
⚖️ ACCOUNTABILITY: Stakeholders held responsible for ethical AI governance.
Example: New Positions
🌀 AGILITY: Adapting to AI advancements for relevant governance.
Example: Regulatory Sandboxes
📚 EVIDENCE-BASED: Rational decision-making through experiments.
Example: Collaboration with Research Institutes
💰 COST-EFFECTIVENESS: Adaptive resource allocation.
Example: AI Procurement Processes
Responsible Data for Children Training_PublicSlides_110922.pdfStefaan Verhulst
The Responsible Data for Children (RD4C) initiative—a collaboration between The GovLab and UNICEF to promote the more responsible handling of data for and about children—has spent much of 2022 developing ways to socialize and operationalize the principles that put the best interests of children and a child rights approach at the center of our data activities.. From publishing new case studies that provide detail on what a responsible data approach looks like in action to supporting UNICEF and UNHCR country offices in helping them implement a responsible data for children approach to their operations to expanding its offerings in different languages, we’ve sought to help organizations understand what responsible data for children means and how they can realize it in their day-to-day operations.
Today, RD4C is continuing this work with self-guided training. Based on the tutorials offered to UNICEF staff in early 2022, these slides are a resource for organizations seeking to understand ways to operationalize the RD4C principles and implement the RD4C tools.
Data Collaboration and Stewardship for the Blue EconomyStefaan Verhulst
The presentation covers: Introduction to data collaboratives, a new form of collaboration, beyond the public-private partnership model, in which participants from different sectors exchange their data to create public value.
Focus on 3 types of data collaboratives that areparticularly relevant to the audience of ocean data professionals: Trusted Intermediaries; Data Pools; and Research and Analysis Partnerships.
Goverannce of Data Collaboratives leveraging the “Four Ps”:
Purpose: What is the purpose/mission of the data collaborative beyond providing access to data? Purpose can be organizational, relating to the functions of a larger institution, or an issue of data access, relating to the reasons for data access.
Principles: What norms and attitudes will inform decisions and data handling? Like Purpose, principles can be organizational, relating to how an institution governs itself and its projects, or a matter of data access, relating to how an institution governs its data.
Processes: What kinds of design-making processes are needed to ensure an organization can act on its principles to meet the purpose?
Practices: What is needed to operationalize the principles?
Reimaginig Data Stewardship: Capacities and CompetenciesStefaan Verhulst
Presentation by Stefaan G. Verhulst (The GovLab) at the UN World Data Forum on how to enable the re-use of (non-traditional) data for and in the public interest (including for official statistics) by re-imaging data stewardship. The presentation subsequently focuses on five clusters of competencies and capacities needed to establish this new profession.
Considers several ways in which data can help philanthropic organizations improve their missions, as well as pathways toward making philanthropy more data-driven.
Broadly speaking, when analyzed responsibly data and data science can provide philanthropies with an improved analysis or understanding of the situation or problem; help predict future trends or help evaluate the impact of investments made.
This in turn can perfect the way philanthropies function in three broad ways:
First, having access to data and data science can influence the overall operations of philanthropies, making them run more efficiently.
Second, data can transform how philanthropies are governed, making them more accountable — a topic of major importance in the current philanthropic landscape.
Third, data can increase the impact of an organization’s mission by allowing them to make evidence-based decisions and continuously adjust their activities to take account of realities on the ground.
Better Data for Better Policy: Opportunities and ChallengesStefaan Verhulst
Opening keynote presented at the Power from Statistics conference in Brussels, co-organized by Eurostat and the European Political Strategy Centre . The presentation focuses on the importance of data to inform and ultimately transform the full policy cycle. In addition, a key premise that is examined throughout the presentation is the need to access, utilize and find insight in the vast reams of data and data expertise that exist in private hands through the creation of new kinds of public and private partnerships or “data collaboratives” to establish more agile and data-driven policy making.
