Maria is at #CPDPLatAm2023.

Yesterday she ran a session testing a card game designed to support conversations about collective and participatory data governance. It was great to be joined by an enthusiastic and engaged group of people, and much fun was had.

If you'd like to read more about the game we're developing with Jessica Metheringham, from Dissent Games, you can see our write up of the first public play at #DataJustice2023 here: http://connectedbydata.org/blog/2023/07/07/governance-game-playtest

#DataJustice2023 Karine Getelet and Sandrine Lambert reporting on their work exploring Council of Europe Consultations on AI.

Highlighting concurrent consultation mechanisms on AI creating confusion/loss of coherence in civil society engagement: capacity limited civil society orgs had to choose where to engage.

Significant for upcoming period with *lots* more different AI governance engagement: highlights need to make engagement legible so citizens and CSOs know what to engage with.

#DataJustice2023 Linnet Taylor discussing the Global Data Justice project conclusions, on operationalising a new norm for data: https://globaldatajustice.org/ and the challenges of introducing a people- and community-centric norm of data governance in discussion at UCTAD, WTO or G20.

"Data stewardship as it is getting operationalised at the highest level, is being used to pull data and control of data away from communities. We need to challenge that."

In #DataJustice2023 Online Panel discussion Stefano Calzati is outlining the case for move from trying to insert needs of one group into governance (e.g. pushing to citizen centric data governance), to calling for a broader systemic change to achieve data governance ecosystems that balance different stakeholders.

An interesting strategic approach - from targeting specific actors to thinking (eco-systemically).

#DataJustice2023 Natalie summing up with four key challenges to integration of participatory practice in data governance in justice space:

- Culture
- Courts "are not a service"
- Legal exceptionalism
- Paternalism

Judicial culture seeks to be insulated from outside pressure, but this can create resistance to public input.

Courts not bound by GDPR; and courts generally exempt from FOI, leaving to low familiarity in courts with responsible data agendas.

Hearing from Dr Natalie Byrom at #DataJustice2023 talking about how digitisation and datafication of court judgements shifts implications of 'open justice' in practice, with services like https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ - and highlighting lack of public awareness of, and engagement with, decisions to change how court records are shared online.

At #DataJustice2023 conference in Cardiff for @ConnectedByData this week where we'll be running the first play test of our game designed to explore different approaches to engaging communities around tech development and to embed participatory data governance
