The Deputy Director of Digital Transformation of the AOC, Pep Budi, presented the Local World Data Space at the conference “Challenges of Digital Transformation in the Public Administrations of Catalonia: data governance, AI and cybersecurity“organized by SOCINFO.
THELocal World Data Space is a strategic initiative led by the AOC to promote data sovereignty and the use of AI in the public sector aligned with the digital transformation context as well as European strategies and reference frameworks. To respond to the 90% of local entities that do not have autonomous technical capacity, the project proposes a shared infrastructure of advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) “as a service” that facilitates access to common data and AI services for the improvement and efficiency of public services as well as to assist in decision-making.
This model is based on collaborative governance, common standards and staff training to transform the administration towards more proactive and personalized services, with data as a strategic asset.
