As AI has evolved, and as AI has become increasingly important to economic growth and national security, we have decided to revamp our indicator of data governance. Specifically, we want to understand what aspects of data governance are helpful as developers create, test, and deploy AI. Our indicators include strategies; new governance bodies; data protection laws; and international agreements. Could you provide us with feedback?
