Current Priorities
The Advocacy Committee is committed to ensuring that all orders of government prioritise the publication of open data according to leading practices. More specifically at this time, we are adopting and adapting the recommendations of the Open Data Institute regarding open data and artificial intelligence (AI). As AI is now a key priority of the Government of Canada and several other governments, the proper preparation of open data to train and to realise the full potential of open data is an urgent matter as well.
What would you like us to advocate for?
